Default How do I remove an Autoshape?

To select all Objects. F5 Special - Objects - OK. The Delete.

Using Excle version 2003, I have come across an autoshape that cannot be
deleted. It "sits" in a specific place: between columns D and E and
extends
from line 4 to line 6
I can make it larger, change its size, even move and format it as a
picture
- e.g. fill it red.
After I have made the first change (whether that is making it larger or
moving it) I can delete it but when I go back to where I found it - it is
still there!
If I add more lines it moves with the text and copying the text copies the
autoshape which then won't be removed - other than by removing the entire
line
I suspect there are more autoshapes in my spreadsheet as it is really
slowing down processing time.
Any idea how I can get rid of it?
