    I doubt I could reliably explain the process, but I was able to remove the element from the hierrarchy by editing the xml outside of TestComplete. The unused node was first (carefully) removed from the name mapping file. All keyword test filess were then opened and a search/replace performed which removed the eliminated level (including the trailing period). Doing it in this fashion preserved the alias mappings and no individual steps within the test had to be touched. 

     

    I hope this helps someone out there.
