If they are still stuck on, that may be a receptacle tab on another receptacle that is wired to be split. This may be one you don't want split. If so, we can advise. | |

Switches don't control anything on the circuit and the outlets are still powered at all times (top and bottom). I'll update the OP to reflect. | |
