You Cannot Remove Quest Items from your Inventory

[Squiddish]

I understand the basic concept here, to prevent people from accidentally losing or selling quest items and then being doomed. However, there are a lot of quest items you still have after the quest is complete, that are still flagged quest items. The one in particular I'm trying to deal with comes out of the Thieve's Guild chain, and has a weight of 5! There are TWO of the items, but once you complete the quests one un flags and you can drop it. The other, however, is still considered a quest item.

Is there any way to get rid of weighted quest items you no longer need?

I Know What That's Like. I Was Selling My Stuff to the Merchant In Riverwood And accidentally Picked Up The Golden Claw, Now I Can't Sell Him Stuff Without Ending My Quest early.
