Best Answer

You do pretty much the same thing as before, i.e. modify the string array and put it back in the listbox with the set(...) command.
Let's say your string looks like this:
selections = {'A' 'B' 'C'};
Then you delete say the 2nd element:
selections(2) = []
selections = 
      'A'    'C'
And you can put it back in the listbox:
set(handles.listbox1,'String',selections);
