You can play with mdrun_hole (search the site) which is designed to create a protein-shaped hole in a lipid simulation (also making a hole in the water). I'd probably just delete the offending waters, and reequilibrate, myself.

I have simulated the system for 15 ns with position restraints on the protein to allow the lipids to anneal around it, but have recently found a small problem. I found a small gap between the protein and lipid where some water molecules embedded themselves. Is there any way I can change the parameters of the simulation to remove these waters, so that the lipids will aggregate properly around the protein? What would the best solution be? Should I just remove these waters manually?
