That's what I would do. Another possibility is to do F3 M-x
delete-region RET F4. Then with F4 temporarily bound to delete region
use it for deletions. I think using registers is better though, because
it means you can use all of the usual forms of killing M-w, M-DEL, M-d,
C-k, etc.
In situations like this it's also useful to use registers for
navigation.
