The hip is borked, you have to redo the rig. Keep in mind that undo usually doesn't work for that stage. Try loading one of mine and looking at it in the setup room (it will complain about morph targets when you switch, ignore that unless it provokes a crash). You may need to start from a new blank scene and re-import the OBJ, depending on what happened.
When you are deleting bones, work from the end bones inward; e.g. delete the finger3 bone, finger 2 bone, finger1 bone for each finger and thumb, and then the hand, and then the forearm, shoulder and collar, for each arm; delete the head, neck; THEN delete the chest, then abdomen. If you delete bones that have children it may cause problems or crashes.
As painful as this seems right now, once you do one and get it working right, you can save it and reuse it on later projects.
