Unless this is your paternal line, this line at some point had a woman marry a male ancestor of yours. Disconnect that woman from her parents. (I'm assuming you want to leave that woman in your file.)
Now go to the top-of-line ancestral couple of that line, select the man or wife and export, then delete, all known descendants, including spouses. A couple of caveats that you may need to record and export and delete individually (or add to the dataset for export and delete). 1) Do you have parents of spouses? Step-parents of spouses? Other relatives of spouses? Step-children of this line who were blood children of spouses? etc, etc, etc. 2) Did either the father or mother the top-of-line ancestral couple have other spouses in your file with other descendants?
