I have a podcast 'stuck' on my iPhone 4

I have a podcast 'stuck' on my iPhone 4. The podcast in question encountered an error when downloading.


I can't remove this by sliding to delete on the iPhone itself (when I swipe nothing happens), or by syncing / removing via iTunes.


When I view Settings > General > Usage > Music on the iPhone the podcast does not appear there either to allow me to delete it. Is there any other way that I can remove this rogue podcast without resetting to factory settings?


Many thanks.

iPhone 4, iOS 5

Very nice suggestion, but for streamed episodes it does not work (they don't populate in iTunes even under the device directory). Looks like streamed episodes don't actually take up room on the phone but there also seems to be no way to remove the placeholder link to the stream (or whatever you want to call the listing in podcasts on the phone itself) since that entry does not show up anywhere but the podcast list on the phone.
