I can usually delete most anything using the App Browser, but the window 
doesn't always update right. Sometimes I have to close it and re-open 
it, or view a different stack in it, to force it to refresh. I don't 
know if that's was the problem in this case though.

But if you know the group is there, you can always just remove it using 
the message box:

   delete bg "nonplacedBg"

The group doesn't have to be placed or visible for that to work. You 
won't get any warnings though, it will just disappear and isn't 
undo-able. Also, when no group is placed on a card, you have to refer to 
it as a "background" or the engine won't find it.
