Update

Things to check:

1. Ensure that store views are not configured as any defaults.

Website Scope

Store Scope - AKA: Store Group

2. Ensure that config.php is not using the store view

3. Ensure that the configuration is not locked

4. Check changelogs to see if issue was resolved in upgraded versions:

5. Query database to see values:

 select * from store;
 select * from store_group;
 select * from store_website;

I'd be willing to bet that it is related to bugs that are resolved in 2.2.6
