$site = Get-SPSite "http://<server>:<port>"
$context = Get-SPServiceContext($site)
$upcm = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileConfigManager($context)
$cm = $upcm.ConnectionManager
$pdtc = $upcm.GetPropertyDataTypes()
$ppm = $upcm.ProfilePropertyManager
$cpm = $ppm.GetCoreProperties()
$ptpm = $ppm.GetProfileTypeProperties([Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileType]::User)
$psm = [Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileSubTypeManager]::Get($context)
$ps = $psm.GetProfileSubtype([Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileSubtypeManager]::GetDefaultProfileName([Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileType]::User))
$pspm = $ps.Properties

# Remove User Profile Property by Name
$cpm.RemovePropertyByName("PropertyName")
