Thanks for your input guys. This is what I eventually implemented:

                            $charts_kpi_index = 0;
                            $dataKeys = array_keys($this->data
['ChartsKpi']);
                            foreach($this->data['ChartsKpi'] as
$chartskpi)
                            {
                                if ($chartskpi['kpi_id'] == 0)
                                {
                                    unset($this->data['ChartsKpi']
[$dataKeys[$charts_kpi_index]]);
                                }
                                $charts_kpi_index++;
                            }
                            $this->Chart->saveAll($this->data);

Thanks again
David
