I don't believe you can. At least, not via the netCDF API. Neither the C, F95, nor IDL
netCDF API has any details about deleting a variable from a file once it's in there. Just
creating, writing and reading one.

The Java API has a removeVariable method, but I don;t know if even that does what you want
(it removes a variable from a netCDF group, as opposed to a file)
