If your sequences are not so many, maybe you can use Mega to delete those sequences. If there are over hundreds of sequences, maybe you can write a python script to solve it. From my opinion, I will list a file of seq names(.txt or .xlsx), then you can use regular expression to match those sequences and delete them. Hope can help you.
