Are you talking about a 2019 return that you filed in 2020?
If you are trying to change/delete a dependent that was on your 2019 return the only way to do that is by amending the 2019 return. If you are trying to do that for stimulus money reasons it is a waste of time. You can use the recovery rebate credit on a 2020 return to reconcile any problems with the stimulus money.
Select your tax year for amending instructions:

If you are talking about removing a dependent from a 2020 return that you just e-filed, you cannot do that at this time. Your return cannot be changed while it is in pending. The IRS will not begin to accept 2020 returns until February 12.
