To eliminate something, especially something you do not want or need, means to remove it completely.

When a person or team is eliminated from a competition, they are defeated and so take no further part in the competition.

If someone says that they have eliminated an enemy, they mean that they have killed them. By using the word 'eliminate', they are trying to make the action sound more positive than if they used the word 'kill'.
