The only way to delete a LAN connection is to go to Device Manger and remove
the network adapter that the connection uses and then to prevent
Windows XP from re-detecting and re-installing the network adapter in
one of these ways:
Physically remove the network adapter if it's an add-on card OR Disable the network adapter in the computer's BIOS setup if it's integrated into the motherboard.

It's easier to simply right click, disable, and ignore an unused LAN
connection.
