Has anyone got any tips on how to perfectly cut away everything outside the pink line. Im thinking that project knife is my friend but I need to align the edges of the knife perfectly.
Any help you be appreciated.

$\begingroup$ Using the knife, use the C key (angle constraint) to have horizontal or vertical alignment. Knife shortcuts and options are displayed in the bottom status bar. $\endgroup$– lemonCommented Feb 20, 2020 at 10:44

Use a single plane and a Knife Project tool.
You can align it rather easily using Vertex Snapping.
- Enable Snapping to Vertex, and set it to Closest
- Use the move tool to move the edges
- Use the Mouse cursor to control which vertex it snaps to

$\begingroup$ Hmm I cannot seem to get it to snap :-( Did you select both the plane and the grid below before going into edit mode dropbox.com/s/q056ugjtfm49g2t/square.blend?dl=0 $\endgroup$– RodTCommented Feb 20, 2020 at 11:49

$\begingroup$ Hello :). Make sure the snapping is Enabled (the magnet icon is blue). It works just fine in your file. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 11:54
