Text boxes are multiplying and cant be deleted

So im trying to delete text boxes (that are also somehow multiplying whenever i move them) the problem is i cant seem to get them to delete

Ive tried ctrl clicking them all and pressing delete- that doesnt work

Ive tried highlighting them all by clicking and dragging and that didnt work

Ive tried using ctrl+g and selecting all objects and it still isnt working

I know at least 3 are linked to other cells but i cant seem to unlink them to delete

Am i doing something wrong or looking in the wrong place?

There is no option to delete when i right click either
