Your question is unclear (at least to me).

1) You cannot remove a certificate from a keyserver. Not even with the 
private key.

2) You can delete a key from your keyring but without the private 
mainkey you cannot revoke the key. Guess what the consequences would be 
if everyone (i.e. those without the private key) could revoke a key...
