Are you using the Midnight Commander (MC) file manager? If so the easy way
is to "step into" (using MC's VFS capability - with cursor line on tarball,
press enter) the tar file on one panel so you can see all the files/dirs of
the tarball, and use the tarball itself as a guide as you delete related
files/dirs in the other panel. MC should be required software, its that
good.
