Are you sure the marker is part of the container document, not the text inset? If so, put the insertion point to the right of the marker. Use the left arrow key to move it between the marker and the text inset. Then press Crtrl-space to insert a non-breaking space between the two. Then, if you wish, you should be able to select and cut the marker. 

HTH!
