Well, in this instance, this worked!  I wasn't looking forward to 
sifting through the .sla file and making sure I didn't delete too much 
or break the file.

It turned out this wasn't so small a frame after all. It was exactly 
underneath another frame, somewhat smaller, and all of its corners were 
inside the overlying frame (no idea how or when I made this frame). Now 
curiously, or maybe not, when View > Show Frames was activated, it did 
not show this frame outlined on the page.
I think perhaps it suggests something to be added to the Manage Pictures 
requester, so that images/frames might also be easily deleted.
