Legal Question in Business Law in California

You don't say what "public record" it appears in. Generally an office lease is not recorded in the land title records at the county recorder's office, which is usually what is meant by "the public record." If a memorandum of lease was actually recorded with the county recorder, then there is most definitely no way to remove it and there would be no reason to do so. The county recorder's records are a running log of transactions that affect rights in real property. Once a transaction happens and is recorded, it has happened and it is of record. It doesn't go away. You can't un-ring a bell, as the saying goes. However, it also doesn't directly affect anything, unless there is some dispute or other issue that comes up about rights in the property in question. It is just a record of a transaction having occurred.

If you mean something else by "public record" you need to as a more specific question.
