I have added a picture, but do not seem to be able to view it. How can I delete the picture which I know is still there somewhere because of the file size?

Have you tried viewing the multimedia tab on the records window? Does it show there?
View/Records Lists/Multimedia
Just an extra reminder to everyone not to use the embed option in FH

Having ignored the advice not to embed pictures, I now find I have a HUGE file, even though I have deleted the pictures. I want to upload my tree to Genesreunited but it's so big that it won't work. How can I UNembed the pictures and make my file smaller? Please don't make me redo my tree as it's been three years in the making and well over 1000 entries! [cry]

The easy way
1. Make a copy of your file
2. Select split tree helper on the copy and select delete all media records.
For GR it's also a good idea to delete all source, repository, submitter information, personally I also delete all 'distant' relations, eg more than 1 generation from a direct ancestor.
