Can't drop supplies from from failed buried supplies quest

[Jeraal 68]

Is there a way to drop the supplies from a buried supplies quest? Something glitched when I tried to pick it up. I usually like to place them in the bottom row of my inventory so they don't get in the way of other items. This time, I individually moved all the other items and pressed R by accident. I got quest failed sound and the supplies dropped to the ground. I picked it up and now I can' get rid of it.

Delete the quest?  That has usually fixed it for me.

You can't move quest items at your inventory.

Doesn't matter if that are supplies or courier satchel.

Once you talk to the trader the quest item will disappear or when you abort the quest.

I am aware of how it is 'supposed' to work. The quest failed when the bag fell to the ground. In the quest log, it shows as failed with a red X. Can't abort and can't remove quest.

Do another quest with supplies.  If you're lucky, there may be safeguards in the code to remove ALL supplies from your inventory when you turn it in, instead of just one unit.

I'll try that later. Things like this is why I really wish there was a manual save.

If you play singleplayer just copy the world data.
