cdflib.deleteAttr(cdfId,attrNum) deletes
the specified attribute from the CDF file.

cdfid = cdflib.create('your_file.cdf');
% Create attribute.
attrNum = cdflib.createAttr(cdfId,'Purpose','global_scope');
% Prove it exists.
anum = cdflib.getAttrNum(cdfid,'Purpose')
anum =

% Delete the attribute.
cdflib.deleteAttr(cdfid,attrNum);
% Clean up
cdflib.delete(cdfid);
clear cdfid
