Default Deleting Objects all at once - (copied HTML to excel)

I have an html table that I copy pasted to excel. But it has a lot extra
objects like picutes and form drop down fields. (I tried paste special text
but the column spacing is lost and numbers run into each other no telling
where one cell begins and the other ends).

Is there a way to delete all objects quickly / with one action?
