Delete a rest
I imported a pdf and some strange artefacts were generated including a greyed out rest that I cannot delete... Please help me delete it. :)

The plus sign indicates that the measure is longer than the time signature. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/measure-properties for information on how to set the measure duration. It may be easer to insert a new measure of the correct duration and copy into it the notes and rests that you do want and then delete the wrong-duration measure.
After PDF import measures sometimes dont have the correct legth. The + sign shows that the actual duration is longer then the nominal. You should correct the duration and maybe you will have to correct some notes.

... and because the measure is longer, this extra rest appears and the plus sign is the hint.
Be careful when you shorten the measure length to its nominal value. The measure is shortened from the right side, even if there is not a rest but a note.
1 You can delete a note which is then replaced by a rest.
2 You can delete a "range" by selecting and then Tool, remove selected range (ctrl-del)
3 If none of that works out (if you're using "convert from pdf form" then the music can get real scrambled) you can
a) Save/back up your file
b) select/highlight from just after the rest all the way to the end of the piece (control shift end I think) t
b) control-x copy-delete,
c) select/highlight the redundant rest, then
d) control-v paste
