Excel - how to delete ActiveX media player object

Question

So, I wanted to put a sound effect in my excel, so I went to Developer tab and added an ActiveX Windows Media Player Object

After the object was there I altered the URL to that of the sound archive I wanted to play.

Thing is, now I can't hide the object, I cant move it, I can't even select it.

I gave up on the sound and just want to delete this nuisance, someone knows how?

(Here follows an illustrated guide on how to do this big mistake, the final one showing the thing I can't get rid of)

Answer 1

Still didn't work on selecting the object

Before you can select an ActiveX object you have to switch to Design Mode as your 3rd picture shows:

Click that button, then you can select and delete the control.

Answer 4

I know it may sound weird, but I can't select it.

I can select the cells behind it, I can try to click on it, but nothing happens...

(luckily I had a version of the file from before I added these things, so I restarted from that point, this time without adding these)

Answer 5

Did you go to the home tab, then all the way to the right to Find and Select on the Editing Button, click the down arrow and click on select objects.   Or just below that the selection pane.  You can click on the name of the object and it should be selected.
