DeleteCases looks like a perfect solution to your need
here is some data which is replication of what you posted, with some
"modification"
data = {
{{2008, 2, 1, 12, 0, 0.0}, {2008, 2, 15, 12, 0, 0.0}},
{{2009, 2, 1, 12, 0, 0.0}, {2009, 2, 15, 12, 0, 0.0}},
{{2010, 2, 1, 12, 0, 0.0}, {2010, 2, 15, 12, 0, 0.0}},
{{2010, 7, 1, 12, 0, 0.0}, {2010, 7, 15, 12, 0, 0.0}},
{{2011, 7, 1, 12, 0, 0.0}, {2011, 7, 15, 12, 0, 0.0}},
{{2011, 8, 1, 12, 0, 0.0}, {2011, 8, 15, 12, 0, 0.0}}}
Now, to remove the specific row, say the one that starts with {2010,7,1,...
use
DeleteCases[data, {{2010, 7, 1, ___}, _}]
Thats it
