when there are plus signs... it means you can select and move the text independently of the part... meaning you can either move them somewhere else, or delete them just as you would a part...

I have encountered the same problem. I seriously needed to delete them off of the board itself, the component density was high enough that every name overlapped and many were unreadable. If I recall correctly I could delete one of the tags, but deleting both the name and value causes them to both reappear.

like i said... unless you really need some of them there just disable the NAMES and VALUES layers and you won't see any of them. that's what I usually do when a board is getting too crowded. if you're not familiar with tweaking layers in eagle, especially on a board layout, i suggest you play with it because it's an incredibly helpful tool in designing boards... especially once you get into double-sided boards and surface-mount stuff, it becomes near impossible to do it without constantly enabling/disabling layers so you can actually see anything.
