To delete a hotspot connection go to the "network" icon in the right side of the Panel and choose Edit Connections. In the new Network Connections window you can edit and delete connections.

I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 14.04. Wifi settings give an option to stop wireless hotspot(my_shared_connection) but it starts again itself. And there's no option to delete it. When i disable wifi hotspot, the hotspot name(my_shared_connection) appears in the wireless networks and only an option to forget it is there.
