Unable to close the sprint because of pending sub tasks on stories not in sprint

Question

I have moved 2 stories out of the sprint to the backlog and the sprint status on those stories as well as the tasks shows as Hold Backlog (as it should). But still when I try to close the sprint it shows pending subtasks on the same 2 stories which are not even in the sprint, so cannot close the sprint.

Not sure what the issue here is - please advise.

Thanks

@Jack Brickey @Airbus Driver Thank you for the suggestions. It worked but I dont know why I did though - this is what I did..

I moved those 2 stories to the current sprint and closed the sprint by moving those open issues to next sprint, and then manually moved those 2 stories to On Hold backlog.

I understand it is a nasty workaround but somehow I got what i needed for now

@Shahbaz Khan , if you inspect the subtest that are seemingly holding the sprint closure up what status are they in? I might suggest clearing the sprint from the Sprint field on all issues if in fact the stories and subtasks are clearly no longer in the sprint.
