Pathogen installs plugins as git submodules. Therefore uninstalling a plugin is removing a git submodule. Taking 'vim-rvm' as example plugin.

git submodule deinit bundle/vim-rvm
git rm bundle/vim-rvm
git rm --cached bundle/vim-rvm
rm -rf .git/modules/bundle/vim-rvm

Locate your bundle folder which should be in:

Linux/Mac: ~/.vim/bundle

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(UserName)\vimfiles\bundle

Windows7: C:\Users\(UserName)\vimfiles\bundle

Delete the folder of the plugin you want to delete.

Note: If you chose a different directory for pathogen to install your plugin then locate that folder and delete the plugin folder accordingly.

Restart Vim

Tip: In Vim type :echo $HOME to see your Vim home directory

Do the reverse of what you did to install it.
