Essentially, you remove all references to them in the WorldBuilder file.

There will be 2 or 3 types of entries that you need to deal with.
(Examples drawn from BTS Earth 1000AD map)

1)Team entries. There aren't always there - it depends on the map.

These look like

BeginTeam                         
	Tech=TECH_MINING

EndPlot

I believe that a Team entry that won't have any players can be left alone, but I am not certain. If you do delete one, all Civs will need their Team numbers adjusted to put them back on the correct settings.

The player entry of the one you want to get rid of needs to be deleted. Any other players that refer to them (Attitude modifiers at the ends) need to be deleted. Ones that refer to people later than them in the file need to be renumbered (if you delete the 3rd, 4 becomes 3, 5 becomes 4, etc).

Plot entries : Anything owned by that player needs to be deleted. Things owned by later players need to have their owner numbers changed. The TeamReveal entries tell who gets the Fog of War removed for that tile at the start, and as such also need to be altered.
