All you need to do is delete it in Windows Explorer. There is no "remove" for whole projects. You can delete individual files in a project by right-clicking on them, and selecting "delete", which deletes them permanently from VS and the file system.
If, for some reason, this doesn't work, you can also delete a project programmatically. Let me know if you need to do this, and I can send you the code. Why the instructions are wrong, I don't know. That's definitely frustrating. I've had a lot of luck with the Apress books for learning both Visual Studio and .NET. MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/) is usually an excellent source as well. Lastly, I'm tempted to defend ASP.NET/Visual Studio, especially based on your Subject line, but I don't want to start a flame war. I will say that I absolutely love both CF and .NET.
