The method for removing the field depends on whether the field is a default product attribute such as "SKU" or "name" or a custom attribute such as "length".

If you are removing a custom attribute, you can do so in the Magento admin panel under Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attribute Sets by selecting the relevant attribute set and removing the desired field.

I am less certain about removing a core Magento product attribute field, but know the product attribute fields displayed in Catalog->Manage Products-> edit product are added via a php script and not a layout file. The php file for this is app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Resource/Setup.php. The specific function is "getDefaultEntities()".

Start here: Intro to Layouts

Once you understand how layout works, look in your_theme_folder/layout/catalog.xml. Everything your are interested in is located under <catalog_product_view> handle.

Good luck.
