What if, instead of selecting/deleting you used variables to refer to
the various parts. I think that pictures are stored on the Chart and NOT
the ChartObject and below are some examples you what you might need.

Dim ch As Excel.Chart, shp As Excel.Shape, shpr As Excel.ShapeRange

' this is the chart we will be working with
Set ch = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 55").Chart

' add a new picture from a file
Set shp = ch.Pictures.Insert(file_name).ShapeRange(1)

' delete the picture we have just added
shp.Delete

' delete a specific picture from our chart
ch.Shapes("Picture 2").Delete

' delete ALL the pictures from our chart
ch.Shapes.SelectAll
Set shpr = Selection.ShapeRange
shpr.Delete
