Sometime the way to delete is behind another one, which prevent to 
simply move it with the drag tool. In this case :

1) add a node somewhere
1) press and hold middle button near the way
2) press and hold ctrl key
3) release middle button, keep the ctrl key pressed
4) in the list, select the way to delete
5) with the select tool, shift-clic the node added in 1)
6) with the drag tool, move the selected group to an empty area to 
select/delete it


If someone else is cleaning coastline imported by the almien_coastline 
script, I suggest this order of actions :
1) Select an area and launch validation with the validator plugin
2) On warning branch, select "segments with tags" and remove the tags
3) On the error branch, select "duplicated segments" to see where they 
are. Delete them with the above drag/select/delete method
4) You should only have the "duplicated nodes" errors left. Select and 
correct those one by one. You should have at least one of this error for 
each island and lake, so it's the perfect time to check the orientation 
of all segment (islands needs to be reversed, lakes should be left as 
they are (clockwise))

Don't forget to inspect the coastline for holes.
