delete rows based on cells having a floating pix
 

I won't open your workbook, for many reasons, including potential virii.
However, this may work for you.

Pictures don't reside in a cell, they reside in the Drawing Layer on top
of cells. This macro will determine which pictures have the name
"magnifying_glass" in them, and delete both the pictures and the rows
that contain the cell over which the picture's top left corner lies.

Public Sub DeleteRowsWithMagnifyingGlasses()
Dim rDelete As Range
Dim picTest As Picture
For Each picTest In ActiveSheet.Pictures
With picTest
Debug.Print .Name
If LCase(.Name) Like "magnifying_glass*" Then
If rDelete Is Nothing Then
Set rDelete = .TopLeftCell
Else
Set rDelete = Union(rDelete, .TopLeftCell)
End If
.Delete
End If
End With
Next picTest
If Not rDelete Is Nothing Then _
rDelete.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub

Modify the picture names to suit.
