Try double clicking it (is it locked?).

Probably it is locked, makes it harder to select. Press S+L, select it, V+W+P+L to bring up PCB list, set it to "selected objects" and un-lock it, or delete it.

Hey thanks for the help
I couldn't do any of those things! but I could right click on another track and do a find similar objects to tracks with no net and select it that way. I can't delete it but i could make it a small mechanical line instead

I imagine it was the filter.
I have noticed on occasion that you can get the filter into really strange states where the object is not in the purview of the filter but is shown in full color. This can be solved simply by clearing the filter using the button on your toolbar or pressing shift+c. Not sure how it happens but I know that this was your problem because it has happened to me and a few coworkers before.

Thank you!! Just made my day
I've been having the same problem in AD15.0. Couldn't select a track on bottom layer. It was something to do with the board outline, similar to your one with that slot. But mine were 0.00254mm (0.1mil) wide.
So I had to use PCB List with filter set to Bottom tracks, same width, and there they were. Then i could change them to unused mech layer. Still can't select them, but now not bothering me. Yay!!!

It happened to me couple of times. I went to single layer mode and just drag mouse pointer with guessed area where those line might be. selected it and deleted.
