I cam up with this solution
MainMayaWindow = pm.language.melGlobals['gMainWindow']
# create a menu item
pm.menu('Custom Menu', parent=MainMayaWindow)
# then, get the menus and
menus = pm.window( MainMayaWindow, q=1, menuArray=1)
nums = len(menus)
#nums = pm.window(MainMayaWindow, q=1, numberOfMenus=1) # this gives a
different length than len(menus) so is not used...
targetMenuLabel = "Custom Menu"
menuItemName = ''
index = 0
for item in menus:
itemLabel = pm.menu(item, q=1, l=1)
if itemLabel == targetMenuLabel:
print(f'item index: {index}')
print(f'item label: {menus[index]}')
menuItemName = item
break
index+=1
# if there's a match, delete the menu item
if(menuItemName):
pm.deleteUI(menuItemName)
