Other than highlighting and deleting individual Index Entries "XE" one
by one--is there any way to delete all or many of them, either by using
Find or another way?

Yes, the Replace dialog can do this.

First, make sure you can see the XE entries (they're formatted as
Hidden text, so click the ¶ button so you can see them).

In the Replace dialog, enter the code

^d XE

(The space between the d and the X is intentional.) Leave the Replace
With box empty, and click the Replace All button.
