I don't know of a way to do this in potlatch.  In JOSM it can be done by
splitting the way and deleting whichever section you need to.  In
theory, deleting should clear out all the unused nodes; however, all the
TIGER data has its nodes tagged, so unfortunately this won't happen and
you'll need to delete the nodes manually.
