What do you mean "remove"?

You cannot remove a vdev from a pool.  You can however destroy the entire
pool, thus essentially removing the vdev.

You CAN replace the drives in a vdev, one at a time, with larger drives,
and when you are done the extra space will be available to the pool, so
for resizing purposes you can essentially replace a vdev, though not
remove it or alter the number of drives or the type.
