There minor race settlement I would like be rid of as it's it will be in the way of one of my settlements expanding. Anyone know how I destroy, not capture, but destroy this settlement?
I heard that you can hit "x" to destroy a city. Also, I heard that there is a technology that you can research that lets you choose to raze a city when you conquer it. I can't confirm that, though.
Yes there is a technology that gives you the ability to raze a city. Not sure what it is called but I think you can then raze a city anytime you want.
Pressing X with a city selected provides the option, also click the city icon and you can click Destroy City in the City Information Menu I believe. That may or may not require research, but it should be the same menu that lets you rename cities.
Yes there is a tec in warfare to do that, Either press "x" or select the action from the action menu
Edit:damn nnjd 
I am having trouble with this too... Even after I research the required technology
RTFM - Read the Faq Mister! 
Research warfare to "Fortification" then you can RAZE your own settlements. Early in the game there is now way to do this that I know of.
