There is no supported method allowing to remove a subid, please see
https://freeipa.readthedocs.io/en/ipa-4-11/designs/subordinate-ids.html#revision-1-limitation
:
once assigned subids cannot be removed.

However if you feel adventurous, you can use ldapdelete to directly remove
the entry.
Let's take the following example where I created a user "flo" and assigned
subid to this user:
[root@server ~]# ipa subid-find --owner flo --all --raw
------------------------
1 subordinate id matched
------------------------
  dn:
*ipauniqueid=64bf0eb6-d58f-4a83-a3d1-38e24da9bd72,cn=subids,cn=accounts,dc=ipa,dc=test*
  ipauniqueid: 64bf0eb6-d58f-4a83-a3d1-38e24da9bd72
  description: auto-assigned subid
  ipaowner: uid=flo,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=ipa,dc=test
  ipasubuidnumber: 2147483648
  ipasubuidcount: 65536
  ipasubgidnumber: 2147483648
  ipasubgidcount: 65536
  objectclass: ipasubordinateidentry
  objectclass: ipasubordinateid
  objectclass: ipasubordinategid
  objectclass: ipasubordinateuid
  objectclass: top
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1
----------------------------

The above command displays the DN of the subid entry. You can then use
ldapdelete to remove it:
[root@server ~]# ldapdelete -D cn=directory\ manager -w password
ipauniqueid=64bf0eb6-d58f-4a83-a3d1-38e24da9bd72,cn=subids,cn=accounts,dc=ipa,dc=test

Check again, the entry is removed:
[root@server ~]# ipa subid-find --owner flo
-------------------------
0 subordinate ids matched
-------------------------
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 0
----------------------------
