I cannot delete or move a shape in PowerPoint. When I attempt to delete or Cut, nothing happens. When I try to move it, it snaps back to where it originally was. It is not locked or grouped.

    I was able to duplicate the slide and delete the object. It never showed up in the Slide Master layout though.

    I had exactly the same issue and was able to resolve through this reply.

    Thanks Rich Smith2.
