Dear V. Balaram
You addressed your question to the open Q&A forum here on RG. It is unlikely that anyone of the RG team will see this. But back to your question, the thing is that most preprints (of in this case Preprints.org) are added to the RG database automatically, as you can see here https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377640214_Potential_Lithium_Sedimentary_Deposits_of_the_Land_and_Deep_Oceans (no one of the (co-)authors added it).
You already took step one: withdraw the preprint https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202312.0073/v1
In most cases the corresponding publication page cannot be removed as you read here https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293099743121-How-to-make-content-private-or-remove-it but if you scroll down you see the contact info.
So, step two is to contact the RG team. With the message (and link) that the preprint is removed I guess the RG people will act upon your request to remove it completely.
Best regards.
