LSAlert Job References OLD Database

Question

I'm using LogShipping and have it running on 2 databases just fine.  The job that was created when I set up and was testing the LogShipping called LSAlert runs every 2 minutes and fails because it is referencing an OLD database that was used
to set up the testing of the LogShipping.
How do I get it to stop trying to find that database (Rep_TEST)?  The script that is run is:
exec sys.sp_check_log_shipping_monitor_alert 
And the error in the logs is:
Date 17/02/2011 1:50:00 PM
Log Job History (LSAlert_SQLSERVER)

Hi,
Please run the following T-SQL statement to delete primary database and secondary entries on the monitor server:
-- The following T-SQL statements will be run against on msdb system databaseon the monitor server
USE msdb;
GO
-- Find the secondary server
SELECT *
FROM [dbo].[log_shipping_monitor_secondary]
WHERE [secondary_server] = 'xx' AND [secondary_database] = 'xx';
GO
-- Delete the secondary server according the the result found on above
DELETE FROM [dbo].[log_shipping_monitor_secondary]
WHERE [secondary_id] = 'xx' AND [secondary_database] = 'xx';
GO
-- Find the primary server
SELECT *
FROM [dbo].[log_shipping_monitor_primary]
WHERE [primary_server] = 'xx' AND [primary_database] = 'xx';
GO
-- Delete the priamry server according the the result found on above
DELETE FROM [dbo].[log_shipping_monitor_primary]
WHERE [primary_id]= 'xx' AND [primary_database]='xx';
GO
Hope this helps.
