It is not possible.  All the key servers share everything uploaded to
them. There is no real way to delete it.  The best you could do would
be to revoke that particular ID.  However, that would only increase the
size of the key.

Fortunately, from a usability standpoint, there's not much difference
between a 7K public key and a 70K one.  Most of the time, people either
download them automatically from the key servers, or copy/paste from a
web browser, etc.  Since the fingerprint of the main key won't change,
you can always use that to unambiguously refer to your public key.
