That texture could be assigned to many different things. As well as being part of a material in your scene, it could be a material in the material editor, it could also be a background image, it could be a displacement map in a displace modifier, it could be inside a blur render effect.

Go into Utilities, and find the Bitmap path editor, then find the bitmap in the list, and click Info, it may give you a clue if the bitmap is assigned to a node in the scene.

Another place to check if File->Summary Info, scroll to the bottom of the dialog and it'll tell you the location of a lot of maps in the scene.
