1. Select the Spot Healing Brush Tool or the Patch Tool from the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Use the tool to paint over the area you want to remove or fill in.
3. Photoshop will analyze the surrounding pixels and create new content to fill in the selected area.

Note that while the Content-Aware feature can be very useful, it may not always produce perfect results. You may need to experiment with different tools and settings to get the desired effect.
