Not real sure what you are trying to do, but normally you can right click a file and choose delete, you can also highlight a word, line, or paragraph and press delete on the keyboard.

I believe i understand after reading your post again, you have 600 files and you want to delete the first line from each file. I do not know of any way to do it, I suppose a programmer could code something,,not sure.

If these 1st lines have a common element that is not found in any other part of the files . .you can search the folder containing these files for that element and delete directly from the search results.
Good luck
