Hard credit check

I was looking at getting virgin broadband however have had to cancel it before installation. I noticed on my clearscore that a hard credit search was done and my points have dropped by 76. I was not made aware that the hard search would occur.  In fact the advisor mentioned a soft credit check. I am in the process of applying for a mortgage and I am really concerned that this would affect my eligibility. Can this hard check be removed?
