What is changelist in Git/IntelliJ and how to get rid of it?

As you see, it has Change list set to "Recovering from unsuccessfull...". This is my title, created long time ago and I don't know how to use it.

    First off, you should move your changes from the old changelist to the default one. In order to do that, go to View | Tool Windows | Version Control or press Alt + 9 in windows:

    Version Control Panel
    Then select the old changelist title and drag it to the default one or use Move to Another Changelist button. After you moved changes to the default changelist, just right click on the old one and select Delete option.
