I have had this issue and agree it is annoying.

Usually you can find the object on the Project Browser and delete it with the right click menu.

Some times toggling in and out of preview mode resolves the issue for me.

There are some issues related to this that should be fixed in 8.1.40, if you're all able to update and test.

We are running version 8.1.44 and still seeing this issue. It just appeared for us and hadn't been an issue previously.
