Where C is your cell array:
X = startsWith(C,'R');
C(X) = []

Unfortunately you didn't read the posting guidelines and therefore forgot to attach your data. But I'll take a stab at it with no data.
numCells = numel(ExpModOutVariables);
indexesToDelete = false(numCells, 1);
for k = 1 : numCells
thisCell = ExpModOutVariables{k};
if startsWith(thisCell, 'R')
indexesToDelete(k) = true;
end
end
% Do the deletion
ExpModOutVariables(indexesToDelete) = [];
If you have any more questions, then attach your data and code to read it in with the paperclip icon after you read this:
