I feel pretty dumb asking this, let alone how I’ll feel reading the
answer,

I used paredit. sometimes I’m editing code and the parenthesis have
become a bit of a mess. Sometimes I want to delete them.

Paraedit won’t let me, so occasionally I need to turn the mode and
delete a parenthesis or two then re-enable it.

This does not seem like the way.

How should it be used and if this is a feature is there another
package which might be worth trying?

Move your cursor "|" to the front of the paren pair

    |(func 4 5 3)

Press C-k

This deletes everything inside the parens too. I believe you want M-r
(paredit-raise-sexp) which will keep the expression and remove just
the parens

Thanks. Very simple.
That’s generally cut line, interesting.
