Where did you see that you couldn't? You can remove any breakpoint anywhere in 
the code as soon as the running program is paused. You have a list of all 
breakpoints in the debugging panel. Just select the one you want to remove 
there, and click on the "Remove current breakpoint" bouton. And removing it 
directly form the editor should also works. Otherwise it is a bug!
