To remove a media file by selecting the object first:

In the Project Explorer, Plan View, or 3D View, select the object from which you want to remove one or more media files. Then right-click and select Remove Media Files.
Optionally, you can select multiple objects from which you want to remove the same media file(s).
In the Remove Media Files dialog, select the file(s) you want to remove from the selected object and click OK.
The media file is no longer assigned to the object.
If the removed media file was the only file assigned to the object, the media folder for the object is deleted.
If the removed media file is not assigned to any other objects in the project, it is displayed beneath the Media Files node in the Project Explorer, unassociated with any media folder.
