Welcome to the forum.

It really depends on what type of list you are using. Is the list an array in memory, in a control or a file? Do you know the position of what you want to delete ahead of time or do you need to be able to search the list and delete it?

please bare with me as im doing this off of memory as im at school

it does run completly, just not how i want it to, when i have code correct...

Here's a simple example to get you started:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIList.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 350, 300, -1, -1, $WS_SIZEBOX + $WS_SYSMENU)
$hList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 4, 4, 342, 292, BitOr($LBS_NOTIFY, $WS_VSCROLL, $WS_BORDER))
GUISetState ()

for $I = 1 to 5
  _GUICtrlListAddItem($hList, "Item " & $I)
next

_GUICtrlListAddItem($hList, "Find Me")

for $I = 6 to 10
  _GUICtrlListAddItem($hList, "Item " & $I)
next

MsgBox(0, "Test", "Loaded")

$N = _GUICtrlListFindString($hList, "Find Me")

_GUICtrlListDeleteItem($hList, $N)

do
  Sleep(100)
until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
