Open Visual Studio 2010.
Go to File => New => Project.
Select Console Application from the installed templates.
Enter the Name and click Ok.
Add the following references.

Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
Microsoft.Office.Server.dll
Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.dll
  
Add the following namespaces
using Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration;
using Microsoft.Office.Server;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
  
Replace the code with the following.
// search service application name 
 string ssaName = "Search Service Application";
 SearchContext context = SearchContext.GetContext(ssaName);
Content ssaContent = new Content(context);
 ContentSourceCollection ssaContentSources = ssaContent.ContentSources;
 ContentSource cs = ssaContentSources["Local SharePoint Sites"];
 cs.Delete();
