You can get the handle to the particular menu options you wish to remove by getting all the handles then refining your list to the ones you wish.

For example if you wished to remove the Edit submenu from the menu you would do the following:

allhandles = findall(FigureHandle);

menuhandles = findobj(allhandles,'type','uimenu');

edithandle = findobj(menuhandles,'tag','figMenuEdit');

delete(edithandle);

If you do not know the tag of the particular menu option that you would like to get rid of you can see all the tags using the following command:

allhandles = findall(FigureHandle);

menuhandles = findobj(allhandles,'type','uimenu');

get(menuhandles,'tag')
