Delete all UV sets on the brick with the following command:

string $allUVSets[] = polyUVSet -q -allUVSets $currElem;
for ($currUV in $allUVSets){
polyUVSet -delete -uvSet $currUV;
}

where $currElem is the name of the brick.

Unfortunately map is with all due probability the default uvset so it cant be deleted.

You can however move all your uvs to the map1 set and delete the other, however theres a problem if the objject happens to have 2 uvsets. then how do you suppose to choose wich is dropped down to default.

hi

thanx for the reply but the problem is when i have imported a model from modo in the default map i have a map which is automatically created in maya .
i tryed using this but it is of no use
CODE
string $sd[]=polyUVSet -q -allUVSets;
print $sd;

int $i;
for ($i=0;$i<size($sd);$i++)
{
    if ($sd[$i]!= "DRIP_Body")
    {
    print $sd[$i];

    if ($sd[$i]=="map1")
    {
    polyUVSet -rename -uvSet "map1" -newUVSet "swar";
 print $sd[$i];
    }
    polyUVSet -currentUVSet -uvSet $sd[$i];
    DeleteCurrentUVSet;

    polyUVSet -delete;
}

};

now pls help

like i said you cant delete the dafult map you can jsut delete OTHER maps. Infact ist a importer bug it should use the dafault map. Its not realy created by maya ist allways there nomatter what. It can be renamed offcourse but its still there.

So again to repeat myself

So first copy the imported map to map 1 then delete the imported map then rename map 1 to be the imported one.

rewnaming it will not make it non default it will and allways will be default nomatter what you do, itcant be deleted! However it can be made into exactly the same thing as you imported map is thus for the users point of view the same thing.
