I want to delete some lines from within this file

I have a file with more rows.
I want to delete some lines from within this file.
I am using the vi editor.
I wrote a simple sentence.
but it only deletes a single line.
I have to run this code every time.This is a waste of time.
How do I delete the rows I want to delete in a lump ?

I wanted to write only a few because there were too many lines.

the following code works but I have to run it over and over again.
This is a waste of time.

i'm not good with vi but this should work

sed -i.tmp -e '/^[A-Z]/ d' /path/to/file

I've tried that before.
this code did not work.

I have windows operating system installed on my computer.

I installed the vi editor as a plugin on the pycharm(python ide)

does this create a problem?
