Haven't tested this, but I think if you generate a List of References 
for imported graphics, you should be able to click the hyperlink, which 
should cause the graphic to be selected -- then just hit delete.

Alternatively, if you know what page it's on, go to that page, click 
outside the text frame, and try Esc o n (= Select Object, Next) until 
you see the selection handles; again, just hit delete.

Hope one of these helps,
