;; Here are two from simple.el adapted Funktions, which should work as desired.

(defun delete-word (arg)
  "Delete characters forward until encountering the end of a word.
With argument, do this that many times."
  (interactive "p")
  (delete-region (point) (progn (forward-word arg) (point))))

  "Delete characters backward until encountering the end of a word.
With argument, do this that many times."
  (interactive "p")
  (delete-word (- arg)))
