Constant Effect Bug - CE waterwalk won't go away upon item removal

I tried that, and it still didn't work..

It's not all bad though, I went back to my earlier save, and during my exploration of a few caves this time I picked up much better stuff.
For example, I have Magical Trinkets of Tamriel 3 installed, and as a result found a shard tower shield with 275 enchant points... Er.. no I didn't put a CE enchantment on it..

Back on topic though, I'm pleased to see it is not just me who has experienced this. Moral of the story, I think, is to not put CE on anything unless you are sure it won't cause you problems somewhere along the road. So, on this savegame I picked back up, I removed the helm from my inventory and simply made myself long lasting (120 seconds) spells of water walk and light. Given some of the items I possess from two different mods, I have tons of magicka to spare, so it won't be a problem. Much safer this way....

OK, I attempted that too... didn't work either..

But, it's fine. One of the really nice things about this game is it's total lack of linearity, so if you have to return to an earlier save you don't need to go back and follow the same path as before. For example, in this instance, instead of starting the Temple quests (as I had done before discovering my CE problem), my character spent a very happy and productive couple of hours in her magic lab honing her Enchanting and Alchemy skills....to rather devastating effect...
I had no idea you could end up making a potion that fortifies attack at about 150 points for over two minutes...... *blinks*

Anyway, thanks for all the help and suggestions guys, much appreciated

You could use the TCL command to walk through walls... That can damage your game though...
