1. If you want to do something only in the minibuffer, then bind the
key only in minibuffer keymaps, not in the global map.

2. Function `delete-minibuffer-contents' erases the minibuffer contents.

3. If you didn't care about inserting "/vobs/aaa/DV" you could even
just bind `delete-minibuffer-contents', since it is a command:

(define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map
            "\M-k" 'delete-minibuffer-contents)
(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map
            "\M-k" 'delete-minibuffer-contents)

(There are some more minibuffer keymaps.  Which you use can depend
on your Emacs version.)
