The first option worked,
thank you really much for your help.

Oggetto: Re: [Chimera-users] Removing specific water molecules

Hi Francesca,
I can't say for certain without having your exact PDB file to test, but some things to try would be

delete solvent & :546-893
- or -
delete :546-893.water

How these water residues are written (and thus how to specify them) depends on the program that made the file.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
