I've cc:ed this to the newbies list, which is probably the best home  
for such questions - you might like to subscribe if you haven't done  
so already.

A green spot is a "point of interest" - that is, a single point not  
part of a way. It might be a town or a village, a chemist or a  
butcher, a railway station or a bus stop.

To get rid of it you can just click on it (the display at the bottom  
left will show "POI" and its id number) and press Delete.
