Thanks, Aaron. Your first method works if one wants to remove the entire line. But imagine that one wants to remove only a little bit of the line (not the entire line). Can it be done without the Bezier tool?

If you only want to remove part of it, create an additional helper object to cut off that path via Path->Division, then Path->Break Apart and delete the part you don't need anymore. I hope this is more what you need.

After converting the object to path I would just double click to add nodes where I want the path cut and then use the "break path at selected nodes" button.

Thanks to all respondents for your help.
