Are you talking about in normal mode, or insert/command-line
mode? Masking control+W in normal mode masks almost all the
window-management sub-commands, which I'd consider a Bad Idea™.
In insert/command-line mode, C-w behaves as it does in my various
shells: deleting from the cursor backwards to the beginning of
the current word (or previous word if you're in whitespace). So
if you're not seeing this, you likely have a mapping for C-w that
breaks the default behavior. Check the output of ":map" to see
if anything is mapped in normal/command mode to C-w. Or you can
test it by starting vim with "vim -u NONE testfile.txt"
If you really want it to do in insert-mode what "dw" does in
normal mode, I suppose you could create a mapping like
:inoremap <c-w> <c-o>dw
