I do not see any way of accomplishing this via the GUI, but it can be
done by means of the command interpreter with a pair of commands.
Say you want to delete section 2.2 of your document
1. Place the cursor at the title of section 2.2.
2. Issue in the command interpreter "section-select". This will
select the whole section 2.2.
3. To delete the entire section, then enter this command:
"char-delete-forward". This will erase the whole section.
These steps work for any kind of sectioning (division of the text
hierarchycally): parts, chapters, paragraphs, etc. You could even
customize your UI file to bind these pair of commands to a button in
the toolbars.
I was about to suggest to add a "Delete Section" menu entry to the TOC
context menu. But that doesn't work for some reason and I am not sure why.
In any case, such a (working) menu entry should probably be available.

Maybe there is some kind of cursor update missing after the
"section-select" command?
command-sequence section-select;char-delete-forward
apparently works fine when the cursor is already in the heading but not
when executed merely from the context-menu.
