Hi,
If you mean Xanga.com a chat site. Well you cant remove it because it is an internet site. But one thing you can do is to block that site from her computer. By using parental control software.
Some of these parental control software have a lot more features than just blocking a site. It can block lots of porn sites, other sites that you dont want your daughter to see and also this program can also block the internet at full at a time that you specify. Let's say you want your daughter to only use the internet from 10am to 5pm you can do this by some parental control programs. The program are blocked by a password that only you should now of so that you can use her pc at anytime you want too.
Here are a few good parental control programs. Webwatcher and Content Protect are the better ones.

Eleven year old girls do not have the option of going onto a site the parent restricts just by order. You are in charge, I hope, because if she is this defiant at eleven, what do you think she is going to be like at 13? It is important now that you explain to her what she can and cannot access. If she defies you, take away the computer for one week. She will get it back when she promises to stay off - for all the reasons you have told her. If she does it again - and check her fingerprints on computer or have someone who know how check - then it goes for one month. Check with parents of her friends to make sure that they block or do not block and then dictate the friends she can and cannot spend time with. She will accuse you of ruining her life but you are going to calmly explain once more why no xanga (list the reasons: 1) too advanced for an 11 year old and why 2) dangers lurk and give an example 3) She is 11, you pay the bills and provide housing, food and entertainment and school, etc. and she WILL follow your order. End of conversation. Good luck.

After teaching computers at high school level for 6 years, I can tell you for a fact that preens and teens are very resilient and industrious at getting to the sites on the computer that they want to get to. I had and arsenal of hardware and software tools the school provided at my disposal and some (not all) still got to sites that they were not allowed to be at. If it were me, I would buy a third party software that puts you at the controls as to what they can see and can not see. This includes any games you might like to play but you do not want your children into. If you have let her have her own computer in her room, then take it out right now. Do not past go and collect 200 dollars, do it now. If that is hard to do than remind yourself who the parent is. I am the parent of two adult children who love me very much today because I knew how to make those hard choices when I had to. If she does not have a computer in her room then add that software I just told you about and hope she does not figure out a way to hack it, if she does then pull the plug. That’s right, pull the plug and take it with you when you go to work. If she gets a plug from a friend and you find out then pull the plug and then turn off the power for that area at the circuit breaker and pad lock it. When you get home from work turn everything back on and after all this she will get that you mean business. I know I am sounding very extreme but as caring and loving parents then we must do what we must for the sake of our child. Good Luck.

McAffee used to have a privacy service product which allowed you to regulate what data was transmitted and which sites were available for access. If they still carry it, and the price is reasonable, you might look into that as a solution. It can reinstate password protected login-connections to the internet if you have a broadband connection.

Block the site. Go to tools and internet options. Under the privacy mark that website as red. Meaning dangerous and block it. Next time she tries going to it, it wont work.

You can block that site as is suggested by the other answers, and then also go to K9 and install their simple filter, which will assist you with future problems regarding where your dughter goes and what she sees. It is an excellent free tool and really simple to use.
Have a good one.

Go to control panel, then once you are, look for INTENET OPTIONS. click on it, then look for the secrity tab. Click on the security tab and you will see a tab called restricted sites. Enter the URL of the site you want and your daughter wont be able to go on that site.

You could also go a step further and either add her own account and block the site, or delete her account so you're the only one that can access it (if it's password protected).

i'd suggest switching to an internet provider that allows you to control the pages your daughter can visit. AOL is the only one I know of for sure but I am sure there has to be others.

You COULD block the site, as suggested by B.I.G.P.O...
OR
You, as the parent, could restrict her use by telling her NOT to use it and if she does, confiscate the computer for 1 week on 1st offense, etc.
YOU are supposed to be running things, NOT your daughter!!
