If your good tree is all connected, you can use Tree Finder, select your tree and export it, and junk the rest of the file. Just worry about the one big tree.

How do I do this? If the ones you want to get rid of have been disconnected (unlinked) from your main tree, then use: View > Tree Finder to see all the unconnected trees in your family file. Note that you should "refresh" this list every time you use it. In Tree Finder you can select whole trees and Tag all the individuals contained in each. Then by going to Advanced Deleting you can delete everyone that has that tag set.
