The fact that nobody in this very helpful community has responded to this makes me think that nobody really understands conflicts, why Joplin creates them and how to resolve them. This really needs to be another focus for future development.

Here's how I resolved this situation. First, I opened Joplin on a second computer, where I found only the two 'black' Conflicts notebooks mentioned above. I did a spotcheck of the files and found enough of them attached to existing notes, that I felt comfortable deleting the notebooks (although I first exported them for safekeeping). Those two notebooks were successfully deleted from my other computer via Sync.

I returned to my first computer where the red Conflicts notebook remained. All of these items were also attachments, but none of them could be opened. They also could not be exported because Joplin said they were empty. So I deleted this notebook.

All Conflicts are now gone.
