As with Barmar's solution, I would address your escaping issue here.

 echo 'Don't delete!!';

to

echo "Don't delete!!";

or

echo 'Don\'t delete!!';

Additional information on escaping strings can be found here: Escaping quotation marks in PHP

$value is an object, not an array index. You need to add the array index to the foreach loop:

foreach ($this->computers as $i => $value) {
    if($value->getNumber() == $computerNumber){
        unset($this->computers[$i]);
        echo 'Delete!!';
    } else {
        echo 'Don't delete!!';
    }
}
