Never mind I just deleted the lot and am hoping that does the trick
Deleting the lot won't remove the doll.

I've still got the doll in my game after deleting the package in dc backup and deleting all the cache files is there another folder where it would lurk ?
The cache files don't store CC, and DCBackup is exactly what it sounds like-- a backup of all the content installed through the launcher. Remove everything from your Mods>Packages folder, and check to see if it's still in game. If it is, it's installed through the launcher and in your DCCache folder somewhere.

"Hi all-
Update on the Exchange
While you may continue to download from and upload to the Exchange, be advised that there are some corrupt files that have made its way into the Exchange that may slow down your game.
If you are playing your game and it has slowed down dramatically, you may have some corrupt content. You might have a file called "0x038a68fe04da61a6aa65f939d77fbc37.package" from an object called "Girl Doll Dressed"
Thanks to glitzyangel for already writing these helpful instructions on how to delete the file before we could tackle it! If you see her around the forums or our Facebook give her a big Sim-tastic thank you!
* Back up your game
* Check to see if this doll is not in any of your lots or Sims' inventory
* If you have an object called "Girl Doll Dressed" in the Installed Content in your Launcher, please uninstall it.
* To delete the file: 0x038a68fe04da61a6aa65f939d77fbc37.package, go into your DCBackups (C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCBackup), find the file and delete it.
* If you had that file in your C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCBackup folder, this may have attached itself to your exports. If you had that file and recently exported content to your Launcher, delete that content from your Export folder and your Launcher.
* Also, check your creations in your Studio that you may have recently uploaded. They may also have the corrupted file. If so, please remove it.
**
Alternatively, you can run your game with the "Run without Custom Content" box unchecked from your Launcher (go to Installed Content) before running if you are unsure of what to delete and uninstall.
Huge thanks to Simmers who have been helping each other with this issue while we continue to work on a fix to prevent corrupt files from going into the Exchange."

FOR THE LOVE OF DOGS USE YOUR PUNCTUATION. PROPERLY.
The comma belongs after 'dogs', not 'punctuation'.
If you're going to shout, shout correctly.

As Sigmund noted, the DCbackup is just a backup. Definitely delete the damned thing from there if it's in there however the original is shoved in one of the dbc files so you will also need to delete the doll itself (not the item it came from) from the launcher too.
That can be somewhat of a pain in the ass if you have a long list of installed objects and sets to scroll through in the launcher, but it's the best way I know to get it out of the .dbc file.
I suppose you could also open all your dbc files individually with s3pe and scan through them for this doll's entry then remove it that way but I don't recommend it as s3pe is mainly a modder tool and not terribly user friendly.

I believe that's called a 'period', not a 'comma'.
If you're going to shout, STFU.

As usual, instructions found on the BBS are primarily useless as deleting it from this folder does nothing and they don't address that it may be hiding in your Mods folder too.
