Here are three ways out of MANY:

data = {{-0.5, 0.0321787}, {-0.489, 0.0321691}, {-0.478,
     0.032211}, {-0.467, 0.0321723}, {-0.456, 0.0322448}, {-0.444,
     0.0321498}, {-0.433, 0.032132}, {-0.422, 0.0321804}, {-0.411,
     0.0322158}, {-0.4, 0.0320886}, {-0.233, 0.0320596}, {0.567,
     0.00286087}, {0.578, -0.00143633}, {0.589, -0.00592979}, {0.6, \
-0.0113609}};

DeleteCases[data, {_?Positive, _}]

{{-0.5, 0.0321787}, {-0.489, 0.0321691}, {-0.478, 0.032211}, {-0.467,
   0.0321723}, {-0.456, 0.0322448}, {-0.444, 0.0321498}, {-0.433,
   0.032132}, {-0.422, 0.0321804}, {-0.411, 0.0322158}, {-0.4,
   0.0320886}, {-0.233, 0.0320596}}

Cases[data, {_?NonPositive, _}]

{{-0.5, 0.0321787}, {-0.489, 0.0321691}, {-0.478, 0.032211}, {-0.467,
   0.0321723}, {-0.456, 0.0322448}, {-0.444, 0.0321498}, {-0.433,
   0.032132}, {-0.422, 0.0321804}, {-0.411, 0.0322158}, {-0.4,
   0.0320886}, {-0.233, 0.0320596}}

Select[data, First@# <= 0 &]

{{-0.5, 0.0321787}, {-0.489, 0.0321691}, {-0.478, 0.032211}, {-0.467,
   0.0321723}, {-0.456, 0.0322448}, {-0.444, 0.0321498}, {-0.433,
   0.032132}, {-0.422, 0.0321804}, {-0.411, 0.0322158}, {-0.4,
   0.0320886}, {-0.233, 0.0320596}}
