First: you can't delete things out of the coordinate (PDB file) without
remaking the topology (PSF file), so that part will never work.
In terms of the atom problem, it sounds like you have something wrong with
your periodic boundaries, and one molecule is being wrapped on top of
another. How have you set the cellBasisVector values in the namd config
file? And what are the total dimensions of your PDB file (min and max X,
Y, Z)?
