Hello CH-User,

if you need to remove a small portion of a scanner image, the best tool to use would be the Redaction tool, Available from the Protect tab. This tool will remove all content below it, once it is applied and the document is saved, it cannot ever be recovered. If you accidentally redact something but have not saved the document, you can "unredact" it by simply using the Undo button (Ctrl+Z).

I hope this helps!
