Question about VI

Say I have a text file with 10,000 lines, how can I remove let say 5,000 of those lines using VI? I need to be able to remove them by a line number range of some sort, because there is data at the top of the file that needs to be kept. For example, remove lines 50 to 5,000 or remove 5,000 lines BELOW the line that i'm currently on
 
You could have found the answer on Google in a 10th of the time it took to post the question.

Ndd or dNd delete N lines, beginning with the current line;
e.g., 5dd deletes 5 lines
