Type debug.deleteentitiesbyshortname minicopter.entity 50 in the F1 console as an admin to delete every minicopter within 50 meters of you.

debug.deleteentitiesbyshortname

Deletes all entities with a given prefab short name, optionally within a radius of you.

debug.deleteentitiesbyshortname <shortname> [radius]

Examples

debug.deleteentitiesbyshortname minicopter.entity 50

Delete minicopters within 50 meters.

Arguments

shortnameRequired: Prefab short name.
radiusOptional: Only delete within this many meters of you.

What it does

Without a radius it removes matching entities across the whole map, so double-check the name first.
