NOT (source = "Unix:Service" OR source = "Unix:Uptime" OR source = "Unix:Version" OR source = "package" OR source = "ps")

If by "remove" you intend to delete the data from the Splunk index, then it can't be done. Data in Splunk cannot be modified.
On the other hand, you may be wanting to not show certain fields. That is done with the fields command.

... | field - Unix:Service Unix:Uptime Unix:Version package ps

If this reply helps you, Karma would be appreciated.
