In Starfield you can remove Outposts by walking close to the Outpost Beacon until the “Rename” prompt comes up (do not open the Scanner or Building Menu), then hold X (Xbox) / R (PC) to remove the Outpost Beacon. This deletes the entire outposts with all its buildings.
You can have up to 8 Outposts total at the same time. If you reach this limit you must remove existing Outposts.
The Outpost Removal can be a bit confusing because the game doesn’t implement it in an intuitive way. While all other buildings are removed in the Building Menu by holding X / R, the Beacon cannot be removed this way. Rather, you have to do the opposite and quit out of the Building Menu completely. Then walk up to the beacon where the little side panel is, when you are really close the Rename prompt comes up. Underneath “Rename” it says “REMOVE OUTPOST”. This text is grayed out which can make it easy to overlook.
Upon holding X / R you will get a popup to confirm the removal. Doing so deletes all buildings in the Outpost so keep that in mind.
