I was configuring my RPi when i found this weird package called "vncserver".

I've tried to delete it but every time the error pops saying that it's virtual package and it can't be deleted.

So how should I then remove it from my computer?

There's really no need to delete a virtual package, since it doesn't actually take any space or do anything; it just exists to fill a dependency. You probably have some other VNC-package installed, which is why the virtual package was also pulled. You can list all installed packages with e.g. apt list --installed and you can query for any packages with the word VNC in them with apt list --installed|grep -i "VNC"
