Hello,
You will not be able to delete the host from the splunk server(Search head). It is already written to the metadata of the index present. If you don't require the data associated with the host you may need to delete the index and re-create it again. You will not see the host again. If you still have some important data then better filter out in queries using NOT or where clause for that host.
You may also take help of collect command to gather the necessary data into another index and save the data from getting deleted.
Thanks
