I have an application that is live on iTunes. The app contains lots of in app purchases(non consummable). I wish to delete supoort for some in app purchases from the new version. Can I do it ? Will it lead to rejection because the user wont be able to restore those in app purchases? What would be the best way to go about it ?

From the iTunes Connect Developer Guide, you need to first set the "Cleared for sale" to NO, then delete the product.

Deleting In-App Purchases You can delete in-app purchases after they are created, but not if they are in review. Before you delete an approved in-app purchase, you should first remove it from sale.

Important: After you delete an in-app purchase, it is no longer searchable on iTunes Connect and it cannot be restored. The product ID for the in-app purchase can no longer be used for another in-app purchase after the in-app purchase is deleted.
