How can I remove map data that I've imported to the gis database? I'm working with a limited amount of space and when i tried to import new map data, it eventually failed due to lack of memory. Thanks in advance.

I mention you are working with an PostGis DB and using a script to import OSM to the DB, somthing like Osm2pgsql or Osmosis.

You can filter the OSM-Data before importing by using Osmosis. eg:

osmosis --read-xml city.osm --way-key-value keyValueList="railway.tram, railway.tram_stop" -used-node idTrackerType=BitSet --write-xml city_tram.osm

here are some examples: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis#Example_Usage

and the Usage: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage

It depends on what data you want to ignore. You can reduce the bbox or filter the data as josias has mentioned. You can also edit the input style file for osm2pgsql for limiting the data imported.
