I’m a mac, so there’s really no "delete" key" like the PC, nor alt (although command should do it). I can’t find a "text" layer in the channels palette. 🙂
On the Mac, you use OPTION for ALT and you use the Delete or Backspace key on the upper right-hand corner of the keyboard.
You say there is no layer for the text in the Layers palette. That probably means you are editing a picture that has been saved as a JPEG or some other format which does not allow layers. Once the picture has been saved this way, editing it becomes far more difficult, and certain kinds of editing are totally impossible. For that reason, whenever you are working on an image in Photoshop, you should always save two copies of it: one in .psd format that preserves all the layers, and one in whatever your final format is.
Because you do not lave the text in layers, you have two choices:
1. You can select the text, using (for example) the Lasso, the Magic Wand, the Select->Color Range command, or whatever is appropriate, then use Option-Delete to fill it with the foreground color; or
2. You can set the text again using the Text tool.
