I have an audio clip associated with a Powerpoint file, but there is no audio icon present to facilitate deleting the audio clip.

    Hi, I am an Independent Advisor, and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

    I understand you have an audio clip in your PowerPoint presentation but no visible audio icon to delete it.

    Please follow the steps below.

    1. Go to the slide where you suspect the audio is embedded.
    2. Click on the Home tab.
    3. Select Arrange > Selection Pane (under the "Drawing" group).
    4. Look for any object labeled "Media", "Sound", or something similar in the pane.
    5. If found:
      • Click it to select it.
      • Press Delete on your keyboard.
