To set the quantity to zero we need to use the "Purchase" or "Write off" functions based on the current quantities ie if negative then Purchase, if positive the Write off.
As they work the same I will show in this case the write off as we have a positive quantity.
In this case we need to first now how many parts we have in stock, here we have 5 in stock. Then with the down arrow next to the Spares menu item select 'Write off"
First find the part using the search / filter criteria, then adjust the quantity to the number you want to write off, in this case 5. Add a comment which is required and then click the "Move products" to complete the write off.
Note: If you have multiple stocks you will need to do this for each stock, or move all items to one stock.
Once this is completed you can delete the spare part, by going to the Spare part menu, and finding the part. Its stock level shows Zero and now right click and delete will remove the spare.
