    With vim:

    :g/{{{/,/}}}/le 4|d|/}}}/d
    

    Explanation:

    • :g/{{{/ run a command on each line with the pattern {{{
    • ,/}}}/le 4 left align from the current line to the ending }}}
    • d delete the current line
    • /}}}/d search for the line matching }}} and delete it

    Depending on your indent settings using > instead of le 4 might be sorter.
