You need some means of identifying the picture. Is it "floating" or 
"inline"? The method required is different in the two cases. Is the picture 
the only one in the document? If not, what method is available to work out 
which is the right one? Is it the only one on the first page for instance?

Once you have a completely unmistakable way of identifying the right 
picture, it is not hard to delete it. But we need to work first on 
identifying it.

In that case, one line of code will remove the picture, as follows

ActiveDocument.Range.InlineShapes(1).Delete

Nope.  It is an InlineShape, it has no name like my_pict.jpg

Once a picture has been inserted, unless you have inserted it as a link, no 
record is kept of the name of the file from which it came. The file might 
not have had a name if for instance the picture was pasted from the 
clipboard.
