a) You really should run a current version of OpenLDAP for numerous reasons.

b) there is no delete support in OL 2.4 for dynamic config.  You can 
achieve this by:

stopping slapd
using slapcat to export the dynamic config to LDIF
Modifying the LDIF export to remove the schema in question
Remove (or rename) your old dynamic config directory
slapadd the updated LDIF
start slapd

There cannot be any entries in your databases using that schema.
