Remove graphic from background of PowerPoint slides

ms office

I have an old slide deck and can not discover where a graphic "lives" in it. In the screenshot here we can see the Slide Master being edited – and specifically the Footer area. The scala logo graphic is presently selected. That is a graphic I do want.

But the 10 Silicon Valley Code Camp should be removed.

I can not select that second graphic (in order to delete it): in what layer or layout element should I look?

Update I had actually also checked the Format Background from theSlide Master`: here that is shown having only a gradient and not an image:

Another update Apparently the "bonus" graphic only shows up on the first five slides. So then I will look to see what is "special" about those first slides vs the rest..

Me again.. Selecting Hide Background Graphics does do exactly that – but it is an "equal opportunity" option- it also hides the (desired) scala graphic.

It's possible the image is part of the slide background.

  1. From the Slide Master, choose Background Styles → Format Background….

  2. See if a picture has been inserted and replace it or change to another fill type.
