The delete-region function might do the trick for you?

Either
 M-x delete-region RET
or bind it to a key (ah,... it's actually on a menu! see below).

The result of `C-h f delete-region RET' :
delete-region is an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.
It is bound to <menu-bar> <edit> <clear>.
(delete-region start end)

Delete the text between point and mark.

When called from a program, expects two arguments,
positions (integers or markers) specifying the stretch to be deleted.
