Can't select or delete imported lines from DXF

So recently I designed a logo for my brand. This logo will be used on all my parts, so therefor I wanted to create a DXF in order to import the logo and just extrude it. Instead of constantly redrawing the logo. However when I created a DXF and imported it into my part studio. I can not delete the DXF file. I can't select the lines, nothing. This decreased the loading time drastically, which almost makes Onshape not usable. These lines of the DXF will show in every part I open, causing huge problems.

If you create a document then import the dxf into a sketch and clean it up as appropriate (making sure edges are connected, points are coincident, etc) then you can create a version of this document… Subsequently in any new document you will be able to Derive in the sketch from this version. It will be fast, and you won't need to mess with the imported dxf.
As Greg mentioned…. import it into a sketch using this tool while in a sketch. If you post a link to the document it might help others see what your seeing and troubleshoot the issue.
