How to do it:
1) Rename the Spot Color to remove to "None"
however, this leaves all elements in the PDF, they just don't draw
2) Create a layered preflight report using Preflight of Acrobat 8, generating a layer for every spot color. Then switch off the layer - the layer with the spot colors - and flatten the layer. This way you really get rid of the elements.
3) select all Elements defined in spot color and delete them - a very time consuming and error prone work.
For step 1 I use pdfColorConvert from callas software, since renaming a spot color is much much easier than to write an action for that one spot color to remove it (rename it to "None"), but you also can do this with Pitstop.
