Best answer

Fetch the IDs of questions tagged with a given word with a query like this (replace the ellipsis '...' with your actual tag word):

SELECT q.postid
FROM qa_posts q
  INNER JOIN qa_posttags t ON q.postid=t.postid
  INNER JOIN qa_words w ON t.wordid=w.wordid
WHERE w.word='...';

Use the PHP code from my answer to your other question for deleting the posts.

How to do it for posts containing the given word

<?php
// Replace these variables with your Q2A database credentials
$databaseHost = '';
$databaseUser = '';
$databasePassword = '';
$databaseName = '';

// Replace 'fluther' with the tag you want to delete
$tagToDelete = 'music';

// Establish a connection to the Q2A database
$connection = mysqli_connect($databaseHost, $databaseUser, $databasePassword, $databaseName);
if (!$connection) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

// Find post IDs with the specified tag
$query = "
    SELECT q.postid
    FROM qa_posts q
    INNER JOIN qa_posttags t ON q.postid = t.postid
    INNER JOIN qa_words w ON t.wordid = w.wordid
    WHERE w.word = '$tagToDelete';
";

$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Delete posts containing the specified tag
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $postID = $row['postid'];
    
    // Delete associated answers (child posts) first
    mysqli_query($connection, "DELETE FROM qa_posts WHERE parentid = $postID;");

    // Delete the main post (question)
    mysqli_query($connection, "DELETE FROM qa_posts WHERE postid = $postID;");
}

// Close the database connection
mysqli_close($connection);
?>

Replace qa_posttags with qa_contentwords. Note, however, that this could return answers and/or comments as well, not just questions.

And again, deleting Q2A posts via SQL queries is NOT recommended b/c Q2A does a lot of internal caching. Use the proper Q2A methods to avoid problems.
