Yeah, I agree that deleting/managing style items and having to use the catalog is far from intuitive. Even once you figure out it's in the catalog, you'd expect the styles to open up like a folder that shows all of them (you can vote for that here), but there's actually a selection dropdown hidden on a ribbon tab:
There's also another way to do it in the link shared above - confusingly, you have to single click the style and then select the subset from the side:
I do wish Esri would listen to its customers on how confusing they've made these things in Pro. They have time and time again hastily quashed my idea postings suggesting making this exact process easier, and clearly it presents a problem for users old and new.

Basically, the same way you delete saved symbols.
In Catalog pane, select the style they are saved in and select Manage Style.
Highlight the style with the saved text symbols, and you will see the Style Classes on the right, Click on the Text Symgol class.
This will now show you all the saved text symbols in that style file:
You can then select and right click on whatever text symbols you want and select Delete.

Rhett,
Thanks for getting back to me. When I go to styles > favorites the only thing showing is point symbology. I attached a photo below of what is showing up and what I am trying to delete.
I just used the Favorites as an example. You will need to find what style the text symbols you want to delete have been saved in.
One way, the dropdown menu in Text Symbol under Labeling tab:
Scroll to the bottom and select More:
Then hover over the text style to find the name/path of the style file it is contained in:
