According to http://www.dnnsoftware.co...e-based-access.html, 

  • Subscribers. ... Administrators can delete or modify this role.

But how can I delete this role?

It might be an Evoq feature. In Platform I don't see a trash can in the UI.
Deleting that role will require an SQL statement.

I just checked an Evoq 9 site and it also does not allow you to delete Subscribers role. Must be a mistake in the docs.

Subscribers role is marked as system role - though it shouldn't, as it is intended just as a sample with no specific function for DNN Platform itself. You may change it to deletable by running the following SQL statement in the SQL window:
UPDATE {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}]Roles SET IsSystemRole = 0 WHERE RoleName = N'Subscibers'
After a DNN restart you may edit or delete the role.

I opened an issue about this a while ago: Cannot edit Subcribers role, should not be automatic in terms of the GDPR · Issue #2155 · dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform · GitHub

The stale bot has closed it, should be re-opened by someone who has the permission to do that...

Happy DNNing!
