Is it that semi-circular segment shape ? Does not show very well on your screenshot but it is probably a path.
Maybe came from Select -> To path. An active path shows red. (inactive visible path shows blue) Open the paths dock and if there and visible, toggle visibility off.

If you are speaking about that ones
   

This is not a path nor a selection, those are pixels, plain proper pixels, certainly some remaining border to be exact from a selected shape that was erased, use the Eraser Tool to delete them

If you want to get rid of it - I did it like this.
Select all the solid coloured areas with the magic wand. Including the strip across the top. Then, invert your selection (this should select the whole area in the transparent area including the lines left behind)
Press delete and it will be gone. Select - none and export.
