If all the text you want is in one flow, the solution is pretty easy.
Just make a clean template file, then import the flow -- File>Import>File (by 
copying), specifying the flow you want to import -- from each legacy chapter 
file into a copy of the clean template. Everything that is not part of the 
imported flow will be left behind.

Subject: deleting orphaned text frames
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 15:32:16 -0400
From: jsgamm...@imprivata.com
To: framers@lists.frameusers.com






I have a book (inherited from an outside source) with hundreds of pages of 
orphaned text frames, some alongside good text, some simply preventing a blank 
page from being deleted. I can delete them individually, but this will take 
ages. I want to delete all of them in one swell foop, if I can. 
The orphans are all in an isolated, empty text flow called Notes. 
They are found in 27 chapters. 
They do not appear on the chapter Master pages, so I can’t simply delete them 
from one chapter’s master pages and then import the page formats to the other 
chapters.
Re-applying clean master pages does not exorcise these ghosts. 
 
Has anyone seen such behavior? Any suggestions for getting rid of these frames, 
or the whole Notes text flow?
