Built-in .NET arrays do not allow deletions. You have several options open to you:

Use List(Of Byte()) collection.
Make a new array of the correct size, and copy only the data that you need into it.
Use LINQ API to filter the data from your array. The data would remain there, but the code that uses that data would not "see" it
Use LINQ API to filter the data from your array, and call ToArray to make a new array from the results.
