You can use the normal procedure of entering d plus a motion (as already explained in the other answers). The EasyMotion plugin, provides new motions you can use that could solve your problem in a quick and easy way.

Say you want to to delete from the current cursor position to the end of any given word on the screen, the motion keys would be <Leader><Leader>e (akin to the normal e motion). Then type the highlighted letter(s) that appear at the end of the word in question. There is also a line motion so you can delete the current line down to the line in question with <Leader><Leader>j.

I have my <Leader> key set to ,. So, the full command is d<Leader><Leader>e{highlighted letter(s)}.

From :help easymotion:

EasyMotion provides a much simpler way to use some motions in vim. It takes the <number> out of <number>w or <number>f{char} by highlighting all possible choices and allowing you to press one key to jump directly to the target.

When one of the available motions is triggered, all visible text preceding or following the cursor is faded, and motion targets are highlighted.
