Hi,
To the point. I have too many of on kind (Mines or others) like to delete on and replace it with some thing else ( Training center) How ?

Select your planet, then find the button that looks like a building with a recycling symbol next to it. Select the facilities you want to get rid of then click OK, and then you can build new ones in their place. It's usually best to scrap one at a time, wait till its replacement is done building, scrap another, etc. so you still get the benefit of the facilities you're going to replace until you actually get around to replacing them.

You also mentioned mines. These reside in your planet's cargo area with any other units on the planet. To get rid of units in the cargo area, use a transport ship (any ship with cargo carrying capability) to move the units elsewhere. You can also launch mines, satellites, drones and fighters into space to make room on the planet. Or you can jettison them into space - this destroys the units.

[edit: maybe he meant Mineral "Mines" in which case see Ed's answer below]

You can also hit Ctrl + k to get to the Scrap Facilities window. Why do so few people mention the hotkeys? They make life so much simpler.

Not speaking for others...but my brain is like Christina Applegate's was in "Married With Children"...the episode where Al learned her head could only hold a finite number of facts and if one exceed that, an "old" piece of knowledge was lost.

Consequently, I try not to tax myself with too much to remember when, being a dummy, I can click on the pretty pictures.

lol i dont ever use the pictures myself, key shortcuts are the way to go

Slick: i believe he meant mineral extraction facilities, mines they are in fact.

Call me picky, but they are Mineral Miner Facilites.
