There is no in-built or organic way of deleting spells in Oblivion Remastered. Once you create a spell, it will remain in your spell list until the end of your playthrough. That is why turning to console commands to achieve this goal can be a solid alternative. If you are on a PC, then this method will surely work for you.

Keep in mind that using console commands automatically disables all achievements in the game.

  1. First, boot into Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
  2. Once you are back in the world of Cyrodiil, open the console by pressing the Tilde Key (~).
  3. Then type: save spellclean 1. It will then create a new text file in your game’s directory.
  4. Go to this path: OblivionRemastered\Binaries\Win64.
    Alternatively, for Xbox Game Pass: XboxGames\The Elder Scrolls IV- Oblivion Remastered\Content\OblivionRemastered\Binaries\WinGDK).
  5. Now, open the newly created text file and search for Total SPEL
  6. You will then notice a list of your customer names. It might look something like UI_UserInputText_….
  7. Hop back into the game and use this command: player.removespell [SpellID].
    Keep repeating this process until you find your spell.
  8. Once you have identified the right ID, remove it from the text file and reload your save.

Sadly, this method only works on a PC. And if you are on console, currently, there is no way of removing a spell in Oblivion Remastered. You can only make sure that your spell list is organized. Since there is no hard cap on how many customer spells players can make, it could get really messy quite fast.
