Hi.

A possible solution:
move the node tools cursor over a node,
then hold Ctrl and scroll with the mouse wheel.

Another one:
Break path apart (Ctrl+Shift+K), change back to object mode (likely by pressing Space),
Shift+Click the subpath you want to delete,
combine paths back together (Ctrl+K), and delete unnecessary object.
