If you just want to remove the NSTableView columns autosave entry, then you
can manually use Property List Editor on your
"com.yourIdentifier.yourApp.plist", which is stashed in your
~/Library/Preferences/ directory.  Just look for an array called "NSTableView
Columns *AutosaveName*" and delete it.  You might want to delete the
corresponding "NSTableView Sort Ordering *AutosaveName*" array too, if it
exists.

If you mean programmatically how do you delete the same items, I haven't
thought about it much, or tried it at all, but I'd start with something like
this:

NSString *key =
    [NSString stringWithFormat:@"NSTableView Columns %@", autosaveName];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] removeObjectForKey:key];

That's how you delete other stuff from user preferences (and return to
"factory" preferences"), so I suppose you could delete autosaved stuff the
same way.  Your mileage, of course, may vary.
