Find and remove hidden images

I have a docx that contains hidden images.

How can I find them? I would like to remove them.

I have the following code to find and remove images, but cannot figure out if they are hidden or not.

try (InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes)) {
    Document doc = new Document(stream);
    for (Object cn : doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true))
    {
        Node node = (Node)cn;
        if (node instanceof Shape) {
        Shape shape = (Shape)node;
        if (shape.hasImage())
        {
            shape.remove();
        }

@kerner The hidden shapes in your document are marked with docPr.hidden attribute:

<wp:docPr id="66" name="LogoSW2" hidden="1"/>

I am afraid, currently there is no public API in Aspose.Words to access this property.
