I'm working on a plugin that create, install, switch between child themes.
But I have a problem that my plugin creates just 2 or 3 child themes ( Is there any limit in creating child themes?).
So I'm looking for a way to delete a child theme programmatically by codes before throwing my function that create the other theme.
Thank you.

The limit of the child theme is not a border from WordPress, maybe your webspace.
If you remove the directory of a child theme, include all files, if is deleted. For the delete of the folder use rmdir().
The method rmdir() is part of the classes that extend WP_Filesystem_Base, like WP_Filesystem_Direct and accordingly the rmdir() method in that class. Take a look at the the wp-admin/includes directory to inspect the other classes yourself.
