If you need to do a bulk removal one method that might 
work would be:

1. Open up a small area in JOSM that contains one of the provincial borders 
(with all these new nodes you might hit the object limit sooner than you 
think).  This will download the entire way not just the portion in your 
bounding box (which might be the cause of problems in the first place)

This will import/download the entire boundary, not just the portion in your 
download area.

2. Select the way in JOSM
3. Select your username in JOSM under the users table
4. Under the users menu "Select Users Data"

That should highlight all your data (which will include the boundary).  Then 
delete all the highlighted data (trashcan) and upload the change (I'd 
expect the upload to take a while).  Repeat for each of the boundaries you want to delete.

Will we need to divide the boundaries into smaller ways of a few 
hundred-1000 nodes each?
