texture will not go away

I know that this brick texture will not render, but why would it still show in the preview? I cant replace it with anything and see it in the preview.
There has to be something i am missing…

You have the texture in the UV/image editor mapped to the UV unwrap.
Go into edit mode, select all vertices then in the image editor press the X next to the brick texture to remove it from the associated UV.
