Hmm. I use "dw" (delete word ) repeatedly to remove chunks of text. If someone else has a better choice I'd like to know, too.
yank does one or more whole lines, so it won't work.
You can use "d $" to delete from the current cursor position to the end of the line. AFAIK there is no way to remove a chunk of text from the middle of the line, except with X,x, or dw
