Stuck removing material.

Greetings All 🙂

I am stuck and need to be schooled on how to remove this bit of material.

I normally do everything starting from profiles, then pressing/pulling/extruding. My dilemma today is that the bit I wish to remove is not quite flat and therefore not a profile.

 

Is there a different tool the experts would recommend for removing this little bit of selected geometry below?

 

Thank you.

Sure @sanket223.patil I wanted to remove the selected part. Eventually I worked out a way to do it by making a new sketch on a plane, projecting the geometry into it, thus creating a flat profile, and then removing it with the same tool I always use: extrude. Here is the result I wanted. I just think my method is a bit cumbersome.Screen Shot 2018-09-27 at 2.28.22 pm.png

Thanks @melvinbrian3d, I already tried deleting faces several times, unsuccessfully (giving up when the last faces refused to delete). Thanks to your post, however, I persisted further and was able to use your much more elegant method. Thanks guys - I learnt a better and easier way!
