Can't delete an item in my house

I am renting a house... and I put a small particle emitter in one of the rooms, but the problem is the emitter itself has nothing to "click" onto, or at least not that I can see - it might be stuck under the floor or something, the floor which I can't move. It looks really stupid where it is and I've tried everything to select it.

Do you guys have any tricks or solutions so I can get rid of the piece of junk?

Ctrl-Alt-T to highlight transparent items.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Also, if highlighting the object doesn't work or you still have trouble clicking on it, bring the edit menu up (right click on another object and choose edit from the pie menu, or use the Build button on the bottom bar) and click and drag the cursor over the area you think the emitter is in.

This should draw a small yellow box over that area, and when you let up on the mouse button, if the emitter is completely within the area, it should be highlighted and able to be edited or deleted or taken.

I think you may have to turn on Select Only My Objects in one of the drop-down menus at the top, if it's not turned on already, and be careful not to select any of your other objects in the yellow box as they will be edited/taken/deleted as well.
