While there's not much to add to Meino's suggestion, just for
another spin on the t/T/f/F solution, in your scenario, I'd use
either

d2fr
d3t_

which will delete up to (and including) the 2nd "r" and delete up
to (but not including) the 3rd underscore. Usually when I aim to
do this, there are only a couple delimiters I need to count (if
it goes over about 3, I usually shift to another solution like
searching)

> map<f5> :nohlsearch<CR>

Since I don't use it often, I don't map it, but Vim does allow
you to be lazy and just type

:noh

to get the same effect. However, if you regularly want to turn
it off temporarily, Meino's mapping will do the trick.
