This feels like one of those "there are no stupid questions" questions. But here we go.
Docs show me how to ADD an extent indicator but not how to make one GO AWAY!
I've checked the Layout ribbon and the Element properties for the Map Frame.
Can't see any controls in there anywhere. I can insert ANOTHER but can't remove existing.
I can see the extent but can't select it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I will forget this and then search and then find this note to myself: Hi future Brian! Didn't you retire yet? Why are you still doing GIS? Quit already.
Thanks Dan
