As noted, select everything and ungroup it:
to arrive at:
which then allows selecting specific lines:
and deleting them:

Logo re-creation:
I believe that you’ll have better luck w/ this if everything is constructed in the same way.
If you’re not familiar w/ Bezier / vector drawing programs, I’d suggest doing some tutorials

text which will be V-engraved
an outer perimeter which will be cut out to separate the piece from the stock.
Okay, assuming the 1/2" x 1/2" in…

then one has three options:
auto-tracing — EDIT: Carbide Create has since gained this feature: Carbide Create - Image Tracing
using the pixel image using a tool such as MeshCAM or Carbide Create Pro’s texture feature
re-drawing — this is a tutorial on this:
Begin by going to Job Setup and setting the Stock Size and importing the image onto the background:
