You can use Datastore:RemoveAsync(keyname) to remove a key in which this case the keyname is "Player_" .. UserId

This is easy… other than you have to wait from them to login to remove it.
There are other ways… DataStore Editor, is worth the investment in my opinion.

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerData")

pcall(function()
	playerDataStore:RemoveAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)
end)
