First, load the core that you want to delete. Then from the Main Menu, select "Information", then "Core Information". At the bottom of the list of information, you should find an option to delete the core.
At the time of writing (September 2020), the Android version of Retroarch does not offer the ability to delete individual emulation cores. If you have root access to your RP2, it is possible to find where Retroarch keeps its files and delete the core files manually, but from within Retroarch it is only possible to delete all cores at once and then reinstall the cores that you want. This is NOT recommended on the RP2, as some of the cores which come preinstalled are older versions which offer faster emulation on the RP2 but which are now difficult to find and install. For the time being, without root access, you will just need to live with having those extra cores installed. Libretro cores are typically fairly small, so you needn't be concerned about running out of space with a handful of extra cores.
 
If you do not have an "Information" option in your Main Menu, you will need to activate it, as it is hidden. To activate the "Information" option, go to Settings, then select "User Interface", then "Views". Turn on "Show Information", then go back out to the Main Menu. Through the "Configuration" option, "Save Current Configuration", and quit Retroarch. When you open it again, the "Information" option should be visible in your Main Menu.
