Have you tried to regenerate .htaccess? You can do this at Tools - Generators tab

I tried to empty the “rewritten url” field, but it doesnt save.

If that doesn't work. You can try to remove it from database directly via database tool.

If you can not change it via you back office admin.
You can change it from database directly. You can use database tool like PhpMyAdmin

look into table

ps_meta for the id_meta of index.php page
then look into table ps_meta_lang to find the records related to index

then manage to delete the url_rewrite field

if you're using ps 1.6 then you have to go to Preference > SEO & URL. There you scroll down below until you find Set Up URLs tab. Set to Friendly URL and leave the other as it is. For user with Mac or Linux, you have to create an .htaccess file in the root folder of PS installation and set the permission to read & write (chmod 777). If you've done that, than save. You will get the .htaccess file with the code similar to this.
