In addition to Azzi's suggestion you can use
A(A~=max(A))
but keep in mind that both will remove multiple values if the max() occurs more than once.
For example:
A = [1 2 3 4 5 5];
If the max occurs more than once, you have to use a different technique to remove which entry you want. For example, say you want to just remove the first time the max occurs
maxval = max(A);
A(find(A==max(A),1,'first'))= [];
