To list the external references:
In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the feature, component, body, or part and select List External Refs.
This operation is only available for items that have external references.
View information and set options in the External References For dialog box as described below.
Click OK.

Philippe,

Since it is a sketch, you can open the sketch, pick Display/Delete Relations and then pick External under the down arrow. If you are very lucky, you can Delete All and move your sketch.
