    Short Answer: Most likely, 'Yes', provided Six (x6) Generation follow-on ...

    .

    I am working on the premise that ONE wayward individual/person has been added to your "Ancestral" lines [As; we DO NOT have a 'Tree" on "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' - we ONLY have "Branches" (ie. "Ancestral" lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    And, from that ONE wayward individual/person, another Six (x6) generations follow-on from them.

    .

    IF, that is the case; THEN, 'Yes', you can "Remove" that ONE wayward individual/person; and, the other Six (x6) generations that follow-on from them will also be "Removed".

    .

    Depending on, where; and, how, that ONE wayward individual/person is connected to your "Ancestral" lines [ ie. Part of a "Couple" Relationship; or, as a Child in a Family as part of "Patent-Child" Relationship ] they can be "Removed".

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    You need to be careful/vigilant, that ONE wayward individual/person may have been added to your "Ancestral" lines through a "Merge"/"Combine".

    .

    IF, that is the case; THEN, that can be a little more complicated; and, need through investigation/consideration, before taking any action.

    .

    If you have any further 'Questions' please do not hesitate to ask.

    .

    We would need to know the actual details before giving any specific advice.

    .

    IF, you are willing; THEN, you could provide the 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID) of that ONE wayward individual/person, with the details of what the problem/issue is; and, we could take a look and advise you further - the choice is yours.

    .

    I hope this helps.
