How to remove part of path in terminal?

Question

Suppose I've typed

cd Documents/dir1/

I want to remove only dir1 from that input so that I get

cd Documents/

This has been asked in in remove part of path, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

In what way do you mean without the obvious "use delete/backspace"? And what relevance are "_Ubuntu keyboard shortcuts_"? — roaima, Apr 10 '20 at 19:53
Can you comment on why [this answer](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/28773/377345) to the question you mentioned doesn't work for you? — AdminBee, Apr 14 '20 at 07:28
