C-c C-q will reindent the current function.
C-M-q will reindent the contents of a "sexp". (i.e., put point on an
opening brace, and C-M-q will reindent the innards.)
C-M-\ will reindent the current region. (The "region" is the bit of text
between "point" (the cursor) and the "mark" (where you last typed
C-<space> or started a search, or ....... To find where the mark
currently is, type C-x C-x. Then type C-x C-x again to get back. Lots
of things set the mark in Emacs.)
Hint: In a C++ buffer, type C-h m. This will give you a list of
C++-specific commands. Wherever you see ESC <something> you can type
M-<something> instead.

(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
