Thanks guys! Between these two prompt resonses, and VW Support, I worked it out and learned something new again!
What I did to remove "floaters" or "space trash" was:
1 On one active layer select what is visible (Your drawing area).
2 Go to Edit Invert Selection (This de-selects)
3 Use Comm's 6 to do Zoom Extents
4 Object window will show if anything else "floating" out there, and show it.
5 Delete.
6 Repeat for same layer to double check.
7 Repeat for other layers, until all stray items removed.
Thanks all! Paul.

Is there a command to zoom out to outlying "floaters" so that they can be easily found and deleted?
I am asking because when exporting to .dwg, specifically, the receiving entity will have trouble when importing a .dwg conversion.
A long time ago, working on another cad software, there was such a command, and it helped clean up files by removing unknown items that mysteriously floated way out there.
Thanks.

Brilliant!
Thanks very much for this, for me, newly discovered gem.
I appreciate you taking the time to point me, and probably a few others, to this.
There is so much I do not know, and not just about VW.........
