There is no obvious API to remove a data type from the pasteboard anyway. I tried the hard way: after a copy instruction, I stored a copy of all the data types in a dictionary, then cleared the entire pasteboard (there is a command for this), then reconstructed the pasteboard items filtering out the rich text types. No matter what, the "public.rtf" item is back again.
