I was able to manually do this.
I searched in the posts table for the post_id record that matched the number in the post and I looked up the topic_ID.
I then went into the row for this topic and set the sticky status to 0.
Finally I went into the announcements table and removed the entry for this topic.
I hope this is the right way to manually do this, it seems to have done what I wanted with out throwing any errors on the site.
Wish I could do this on the webpage though with a quick click.
