This question has been asked and answered in various guises multiple times. You have to read the whole file in and then write it out again minus the line in question. There are numerous variations but I'd do it something like this:

Dim filePath As String = "file path here"
Dim target As String = "target string here"
Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(filePath)
 
Using writer As New IO.StreamWriter(filePath)
    For Each line As String In lines
        If line <> target Then
            writer.Write(line)
        End If
    Next line
End Using
