i did it  but when i removed the restraints from water to equilibrate again

Let the restrained equilibration run longer. Make sure you're not restraining the lipids in any way.

hi . i am doing simulation of peptide in DOPC bilayer. i have dopc.itp ,
dopc.pdb, dopc.gro , peptide.itp , sample.top for dopc ,
peptide.pdb,topol.top. i used below commands.

gmx editconf -f peptide.gro -o pep.gro -box 6.35172   6.80701   7.49241 -c
(it corresponds to the x/y/z box vectors of the DOPC unit cell)
i merg peptide and dopc:
cat pep.gro DOPC_323K.gro > tot1.gro
(I remove unnecessary lines)
i add ions :
gmx grompp -f ions.mdp -c tot1.gro -p mem.top -o ions.tpr
gmx genion -s ions.tpr -o tot.gro -p mem.top -pname NA -nname CL -nn 8
i get tpr file  (in mem.mdp i add some line to freeze protein )
gmx grompp -f mem.mdp -c tot.gro -p mem.top -o mem.tpr -n index.ndx
and i use g-membed command:
g_membed -f mem.tpr -dat mem.dat -c final.gro -n index.ndx -xyinit 0.1 (in
mem.dat i include the place of protein in the center of box)
in final.gro there were a few stray water molecules, i deleted them
manually and
i did energy minimization :
gmx grompp -f minim.mdp -c final.gro -p mem.top -o em.tpr
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm em
i checked em.gro , every thing is ok . but when i run nvt
in nvt.gro , A large number of water molecules are inside the membrane.
how can i solve this problem ?

If there's lots of void space around the protein in the membrane, then
you'll either need to prepare the system more carefully to prevent such
voids, or do an equilibration with water molecules restrained in the
z-dimension only, to prevent them from diffusing into the membrane. Then,
remove the restraints and equilibrate again.
