June, Unlink the woman from her husband, you do not mention any children, so I am assuming that there were none. You can now safely delete, one at a time, her ancestors siblings etc. If there are too many for individual deletions go to the grandparents and use Advanced Tagging to select their descedants and spouses (right click on the 3 tag boxes in Family View). In Tools>Advanced Deleting delete all with that tag number. If there are children then it is different and you will need to come back telling us whether they are the children of the husband and an unknown woman, or what, whether you wish to retain them attached to him, or do you wish to delete them.
