Use the node tool in Inkscape to select and delete all of the symbol. It's the second one down on the left side of Ink.

If you select all, then path, break apart...then click somewhere else...I like to then zoom in on the area I'm working on and click on each part and delete. You don't have to do it by each node (at least with the stuff I am working on)

Dan has a good tut on taking stuff out of an image that is connected so the break apart function doesn't work.

I hope this helps some. If all else fails you can post the image and some wonderful person will fix it right up.

I have a tut on my blog for breaking apart if you want to try it.

As for deleting part of an image you downloaded, unless you take the file into a Photo Editing program you must use Inkscape and deleting NODES is the only way albeit sorta ugly since things are connected that you'd never dream would be. I usually take those files with the copyright embedded into Photo Shop and erase them, then save as a .jpg or .png and go to Inkscape. It is a lot easier.

Let us know how you do.
