I wasn't quite sure which part of the screen shot you were referring to. At the bottom, I believe I see the ¤ symbol in the middle. It indicates an end-of-cell marker in a table cell. In other words, it is possible that there is a table at the bottom of the document.

Can you select the undesired content? To delete it, you can then press the Backspace key. If it is indeed a table, backspacing is better than pressing Delete.
