Assuming data starting in A3; in a neighbouring column use:

=IF(MID(A3,4,1)="4","Delete","")

Copy down as required then apply filter to this column and select "Delete" entries. You can then highlight all and delete rows, only those visible will be deleted. Remove filter and other values will stay.

Thanks
