There are many ways we can delete text in a file.

     3x deletes current character + 2 characters to the right of cursor 
X - delete character to the left 
     3x deletes 3 characters to the left of cursor

We can also delete words or WORDs at a time.
d - delete something
    dW deletes to beginning of next WORD
    dE deletes to end of next WORD 
    dB deletes to beginning of previous WORD

Another nifty tool:
