You can detach images that are no longer needed in a drawing. When you
detach an image, all instances of the image are removed from the drawing,
the image definition is purged, and the link to the image is removed. The
image file itself is not affected.
NOTE Erasing an individual instance of an image is not the same as detaching an
image. An image must be detached to remove the link from your drawing to the
image file.

Modify Raster Images and Image Boundaries
You can control the clipping boundaries and image display properties of a
raster image.
Show and Hide Raster Image Boundaries
You can control whether the clipping boundaries of a raster image are displayed
or hidden in a drawing.
You can hide image boundaries. Hiding the image boundary prevents the
boundary from being plotted or displayed. Also, hiding the image boundary
prevents you from selecting the image with the pointing device, ensuring that
the image cannot accidentally be moved or modified. However, images can
still be selected if they are not on a locked layer, for example, if the image is
part of a named selection set made with the All option. When image
boundaries are hidden, clipped images are still displayed to their specified
boundary limits; only the boundary is affected. Showing and hiding image
boundaries affects all images attached to your drawing.
