How can we use vim to delete characters from the beginning of the line till the cursor. Say, we have a string "hello world" while the cursor is on "w". How can we delete from "h" till "w".

Place the text cursor at the beginning of the line of text. On your keyboard, press and hold the left or right Shift and then press End to highlight the entire line. Press Delete to delete the line of text.
The command d$ (note, that's a dollar sign, not an 'S') will delete from the current cursor position to the end of the current line. D (uppercase D) is a synonym for d$ (lowercase D + dollar sign).
To remove all lines containing a particular string in the vi or Vim text editors, you can use the g command to globally search for the specified string and then, by putting a "d" at the end of the command line, specify that you want all lines containing the specified string deleted.
To delete a line in Vi or Vim, switch to normal mode first. If you're into command mode or insert mode, you can switch back to normal mode by pressing Escape. Highlight the line that you want to delete, then hit dd or D on the keyboard. The editor will automatically remove the whole line from the file.
Try d0. 0 denotes the beginning of the line.

I believe that the following should work (d^):
d^ This assumes that you only want to delete to the h even if there is white space in front of it. It will leave the white space.
