Do you even need to?
If for some reason you want to physically remove the WiFi capability, unscrew the mini-PCIe board and pull it out, disconnect the antenna leads, and store it somewhere (you might want it later). Or just unscrew the antennas from the back and ignore it.
EDIT: FYI: you can use both Ethernet and WiFi at the same time.

I am thinking I wont be using the WIFI. Then was also thinking of trying to reduce radiation from the surroundings. I think theres enough around.
The antennas leads are meant to enhance the signal? So I think the WIFI will still work if I disconnect those?

Radiation isn't a problem - that's FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Delusion). Think misinformation. Your case will block most of it, that's kind of why the antennas are outside it in the first place.
The antennas are needed to get any meaningful reception whatsoever, as they are tuned for the frequency of the signal. It might work if directly on top of the base station, but with very low signal strength
Just unscrew the mini-PCIe board from the motherboard (small, maybe inch square PCB with two leads attached to it), and pull it out. Unscrew the connectors from the I/O panel.

There's really no simple way to remove the built in WiFi from the motherboard. If you don't need the functionality, just don't use it.
Of all the things in this world to be concerned about, WiFi, Cell phone or other random radio frequency radiation, would be on my list somewhere down there with me suddenly sprouting a 3rd arm.
There is more radiation floating around from TV Stations broadcasting, police and emergency radios, and other sources, than there is from your WiFi and Cell phone.
