How do you delete things?:lol:?? In illustrator or flexipro I just click on a section with pointer and hit delete on keyboard. Can't find how in Inkscape. :)

Once you have imported and converted your image, click on the second icon(arrow pointed to in "ink1"). Click on the image, and all the node points will appear. Click on the node you want to delete(arrow pointed to in "ink2"), the node will turn red when your cursor is over the node, and it will turn blue/yellow when selected. Once selected, hit the delete button, and you're done.

from the turorials drop down menu under advanced

The main use of the Simplify command (Ctrl+L) is reducing the number of nodes on a path while almost preserving its shape. This may be useful for paths created by the Pencil tool, since that tool sometimes creates more nodes than necessary. Below, the left shape is as created by the freehand tool, and the right one is a copy that was simplified. The original path has 28 nodes, while the simplified one has 17 (which means it is much easier to work with in node tool) and is smoother.
