You can remove a network from the list of networks to be joined automatically by (attempting to) connecting to it and selecting the small (i) icon. You can then click on 'Forget this network'. That only prevents your device from automatically connecting to it again, it will not remove it from the list. This is based on iPhone/iPad by the way, other devices may not work in the same way.

The list of networks you see is not something you can edit, as it is basically a list of stations broadcasting in your neighbourhood. Compare it to radio stations, they are all present in the ether but you need to dial in the correct frequency to be able to hear them. In a similar sense, all those WiFi networks are constantly broadcasting their name and the list you see is nothing more than your device telling you which ones are being detected. You can also use WiFi sniffer apps to do this and they will then show which frequency bands networks are on and such. None of this creates any sort of interaction between your device and these networks.
