Here is the documentation on working with plans.

The doc says you can remove a transform by opening the Plan window. In the Plan window, there should be a toolbar that includes a little trash can to remove the transform. See "View plan actions" in the Plan tasks table.

It seems the trashcan option when viewing plan details is available beginning with Data Studio 2.5. In earlier releases, you will need to use the Undo option to remove the last transform added. In your case, the transform is last, so you should only need to click Undo once. If the transform that you want to delete is in the middle or beginning, you will need to click Undo for each transform until you get to the one you want to delete. Then you will need to add back the transforms you want to keep.
