You probebly have to just go into each frame, but if it’s an object on a layer by itself, then you can select all of the frames and do a cut to all of them; or you can delete the layer entirely… depending upon what you’re trying to do.

Welcome to the lesson: The Importance of Layers.

This used to frustrate me too until my stubborn brain finally realized that it would save anguish by using a layer for almost everything!

(And remember, as long as an object is grouped, it won’t “cut into” another object on the same layer.)
