You probably didn’t originally have one. Then you added it and the database hasn’t updated it. Or, same situtation and you haven’t refreshed your cache.

First, try to refresh the cache in your browser. CTRL+F5.

If that doesn’t work…

You need to shut down home assistant.
Delete your database file (home-assistant_v2.db). This will clear all your history.
Then start home assistant.

OK thank you. I must delete my MS SQL Server DB to let Hass.io recreate the DB now with friendly name.

You dont have to. You can wait, it will purge eventually.
