Removing line bits after using image trace and path finder

I'm creating a simplified butterfly wing for a project I'm working on. 

I've imported a jpg then used image trace to make a vector with 10 colours.

I now want to create a black line around the outside of the wing.

I've made a copy, filled it with white, added a black stoke then used pathfinder to create the outline. Unfortunately, the result is filled with these speck and short lines. Is there an easy way to remove these

and make a clean outline stoke? Thanks!

R.

(can't work out how to add a .ai file)

Use the group selection tool and click exactly on one of the anchor points of the outer path of it.

Select and delete all the leftovers

That's great! Thank you. Worked a treat. I haven't used the Group selection tool before.
