Hi Mark,
You could try this:
In[1]:=
data = {{{{1, 3, 2, 4}}, {{5, 2}}}, {{4, 2}, {6, 1, 7}}}
Out[1]=
{{{{1, 3, 2, 4}}, {{5, 2}}}, {{4, 2}, {6, 1, 7}}}
In[2]:=
Position[data, (X_)?(#1 == 1 || #1 == 2 & )]
Out[2]=
{{1, 1, 1, 1}, {1, 1, 1, 3}, {1, 2, 1, 2}, {2, 1, 2},
{2, 2, 2}}
In[3]:=
Delete[data, %]
Out[3]=
{{{{3, 4}}, {{5}}}, {{4}, {6, 7}}}
Hope this helps,
/J.M.
