The advice you've been given is really excellent. I personally am unable to give up on any orchid until I have crispy dry husks to persuade me to throw it out, but I agree the totally rotted plant is probably long gone. The importance of fresh air is not often emphasised in advice given to growers, orchids rarely grow in dank still conditions, but fungal & bacterial pathogens certainly do! If necessary, a small fan can be installed to circulate the air in your immediate growing area, & as advised, ensure that the leaves of your plants NEVER have a little puddle of moisture nestling in their folds, even if only overnight. If you do spill water into the crown, flold a piece of tissue paper & poke it down amongst the leaves & mop up the water.
