It depends upon the context, but it could be as simple as using a negative
subscript; for example x[-c(5, 9)] removes the fifth and ninth element from
the vector x.

This kind of information is available in every introduction to R that I've
seen, including the introductory manual that comes with R.

I hope that this helps,
 John
