Cant find Prusa slicer setting

Im trying to find a setting in Prusa slicer that works like the minimum support area setting in Cura. I keep having an issue where organic supports are placed within very thin screw holes to try to support a very tiny area inside. This leads to the hole becoming blocked and impossible to clean out.

This worked a treat, thanks for the help. I still hope a support area setting is added as this painting inst time efficient for hard to reach screw holes. But hey it gets the job done.

RE: Cant find Prusa slicer setting

you can use   'Add Support Blocker'   to block areas of the print if that is more appropriate, 

Right click on your model in 3D editor screen, and you can load a custom shape, oe use Block, Cylonder, Sphere or Slab to create blockers on the slicer editor page

Turn off the "Automatically generate supports" option and turn on "Generate supports" option. And then paint the supports only where you want them. (Left click option on the paint on supports tool)
