Try the following:

 

To delete the Foreign Earned Income:

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Go to Federal Taxes.
  3. Go to Wages and Income.
  4. Scroll down to Less Common Income and click show more.
  5. Scroll down to Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion and click Revisit.
  6. Answer No to the Question "Did You Make Any Money Outside the United States?".

If you entered the wages in the W-2 section, go back to and uncheck the box that you worked outside the US

 

You can delete Foreign Income by deleting Form 2555.

Simply follow these steps:

1. Sign into your account and select your current return

2. Select Tax Tools on the bottom left and then select Tools (see attached Tax Tools)

3. Select Delete A Form

4. Find Form 2555 and select delete next to it  It may have 2 forms, one for taxpayer and one for spouse.  Delete both

This should fix your issue

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. Even after confirming I had no additional income outside of the us, and deleted the 2555 form using tools, it still says I have to review before I file. 
However when I try to revisit Less Common Income / Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion - It tells me that that in order to review I have to upgrade to the Turbotax Deluxe version. Can anyone help me with this issue?

I have the same issue. The form keeps coming up as needing to be reviewed even though I deleted it many times.  My only recourse at this point is to print the documents and file by mail! This is clearly a software error that needs to be resolved.
