Looking at the refrence, a brush doesn't have a remove() function. So the answer is: Yes, not possible.

do you want to remove one brush in particular? the thread linked does mention you can remove all unused brushes with an action. Is that not an option for your workflow?

Actually i want to check if all active documents items, with a specific stroke swatch ( CutContour), have a brush other than the default !

So you want to assign a basic stroke to all the elements that have that stroke color?

I'm not a scripter so don't shoot me, but can you convert it to something else - expand, or outline - and then delete that?

I think the OP is referring to deleting brushes from the Brushes palette.
