Edit error on AndroidManifest.xml in Android Studio

Question

My AndroidManifest.xml has an error:

<activity
    android:name="bla.bla.Activity"
    android:label="@string/title_activity_" >
</activity>

That activity doesn't exist anymore nor the string. Since I can't edit the AndroidManifest.xml and it would regenerate that code again, how can I fix this?

PS: Already tried cleaning the project a few times. Using Windows.
