You can also get rid of NFTs (or any token) by using the spl-token burn command available in your terminal after installing Solana.

First, using the spl-token accounts command, list the account data in your wallet. You'll see your NFT (in this case 9w9Qe8GxkrFnSJYKfQMJug9k8ufpfzxW6o7kXTFKpXrK) as well as it's token Account address.
