I have to be missing something as I can't seem to make this happen. I have 2 SQL 2012 boxes linked and have tried dozens of methods to delete a user from a database on the other server with no luck. I've tried various methods of "sys.sp_dropuser" and "Drop User".Am I missing something?

You have to drop the user from the instance where that user belongs. You can't drop remote users, that would be a HUGE security issue.
