Extra half rests
There is an extra half rest that resides above part 3 on a 4 part piece in between the treble and bass clefs. I try to move them, I can't get rid of these rests and they serve no purpose. How do I get rid of them?

You only can delete rests from voices 2,3 and 4, but not rests of voice 1. To delete them exchange the voices before: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/voices#exchange-voices.
Those look to be measure rests, not half rests. Hard to say for sure form just a picture - attaching the actual score is better - but my guess is that you made the common mistake of using voices 3 & 4 rather than 1 & 2 for this staff. Each staff needs to starts with 1 & 2, not just the top staff.
half rests won't 'hang' from a staff line, but sit atop them. So this are either full rests or full measure rests.
And probably the result of using voices wrongly, you should start with voice 1 in every staff.
