Generating new version of a part from a revised score
I have written a score for concert band. Once the score has been created and all parts generated is it possible to re-generate parts after a score has been modified? There doesn't seem to be a way to delete an existing part and re-generate it from the score. It's possible to delete all the part in the edit mode, but that doesn't remove the generated part, which is now musically an empty shell. And there's no way to generate the new part?

To delete a part:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/parts#delete
To create all parts:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/parts#setup-all-parts
To create specific parts:

This doesn't work in this case. When the score is modified and parts have been generated, the parts do not automatically update to reflect the change. "Generating" new parts after the score is modified produces twice as many parts as are needed, none of which have the revisions from the score. Deleting a part removes all its notes but not the overall template (barlines, measure numbers, time signatures, etc.) after which there is no way to recover the pitch content of the part. The score remains as was originally written, but generating parts again does not replace the missing content of the "deleted" part, which remains in skeletal form. I suppose I can create the deleted part from scratch by treating it as a new "score."
But thanks for informative comments anyway.

Are you absolutely sure that you are deleting the Parts as per the Handbook?:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/parts#delete
If you've done that and the part remains with its notes gone but structure remaining then please post the score after deletion of the Part.
Apparently you have not followed the directions for deleting parts -- in addition, you also have duplicate parts of the same instruments with different titles like "Four Irish Songs" and "Irish Band Piece".
So simply delete them all...
Open the Parts dialog (File → Parts…) and you will see this:
Then generate all new parts.
Also, check your wacky slurs:

To be clear: normally you should not need to delete and recreate parts. If you change something in the score,e the part should automatically update. Are you saying there is some specific case here where that does't happen? If so, can you give precise steps to reproduce the problem? I tried a few randoms things and they all worked as expected - changing the score updated the part and vice versa.

Obviously I'm not sufficiently familiar with this feature of MuseScore. After changes in a part within the full score did not seem to be reflected correctly in the individual part after saving, I tried to override the faulty part by generating a new one. The proliferation of (duplicate) parts arose from a fear of deleting the part in the full score. I'll try again.
The "crazy" slurs are generated by the program, especially when they cross the margin of the page. Correcting these in the full score often involves breaking the slurs into two parts, one on each page because the long slurs seem immune to changes. A example is the slur in the trombone parts in mm. 49-51 of the attached score.
Still on a learning curve here,

Your slurs are anchored to the wrong positions and only displaced visually. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/slurs for how to enter/correct the slur anchor points.
