"or possibly reflected objects." no, you can delete these too, reflecting objects don't actually cast light back into the scene. Once you have deleted the objects you don't want in the render, save it as a PZ3. Exit Poser and start Poser again, and load the scene, that way you clear the memory of all the texture maps that have been loaded, but are no longer needed because their objects have been deleted.
