How can I stop custom sections being warped in extra code?

[agileapricot 0]

I've made a custom section for a featured image that i'd like to float next to whatever it's next to. However it's inserted all this extra code for clearing floats. How do I stop it from doing that?

<div class="copy fix" id="featured_image">
					<div class="copy-pad">
	
	< img title="art-35cb" alt="art-35cb" src="http://mysite.dev/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/art-35cb-244x300.jpg" />
	
					<div class="clear"></div>
					</div>
				</div>

You could apply a float to the wrapper using the css, but of course if you just need to add a simple image why don't you use the wp-editor? or maybe I'm just missing what you're trying to do.
