You could do that with a substitute: to delete " <--" and all that
follows it to the end of the line anywhere in the file:

:%s/ <--.*$//

Remove the % sign to do it on the current line only, or for a Visual
block, hit : in Visual mode, you'll see :'<,'> on the command-line,
and fill it up starting at the s of the :s[ubstitute] command, to get

:'<,'>s/ <--.*$//

Best regards,
Tony.
