I'm not entirely clear what you're trying to do, but I think you're 
unhappy with the positioning of the anchored frame. You want it at the 
top of the page (maybe?), and right now it's showing up below the return 
you anchored it in.

First off, you can't get rid of the return, or at least, you may be able 
to delete that return, but since it's an *anchored* frame, the anchor 
must reside somewhere in text, so the anchor is going to show up in some 
paragraph, somewhere. It doesn't have to be an empty return; the anchor 
can show up right in the middle of a paragraph of text, but it has to 
show up in the text stream somewhere.

Esc mp shrink wraps the anchored frame. That is, it sizes the anchored 
frame to the same size as the contents of the anchored frame. It doesn't 
delete returns.

If you want the anchored frame to show up somewhere other than below the 
return, select the anchored frame and go to Special > Anchored Frame and 
change the Anchoring Position. If you want it at the top of the page, 
try At Top of Column.

In the screencaps you posted, I see a line at the bottom of the anchored 
frame. This line is Frame's very unhelpful way of telling you that 
something isn't fitting. You'll see this with a *text* frame (not the 
anchored frame) that contains more text than can fit and isn't threaded 
to another text frame. I suspect that your anchored frame contains a 
text frame that contains a single return in which you've got an anchored 
frame that contains your EPS image. That's a lot of stuff inside stuff.

You may want to 1) Ctrl-click the EPS image to select it; 2) Copy; 3) 
Click the border of the anchored frame to select it; 4) Edit > Select 
All in Frame; 5) Delete; 6) Click the border of the anchored frame again 
to select it; 7) Paste. This will copy the EPS image only, delete 
everything from the anchored frame, and paste the EPS image back into 
the anchored frame. Now you'll have only an image inside a frame.
