is it a new map or are you editing the map for your savegame?
if you are editing it for a new map or newly started savegame, then you just select the foliage layer in the editor and delete it..
if you do it for a map that you are using for an "old" savegame then you are probably better off by just cultivating it.. you can get it to work from the editor but it might be too complicated for you if you cant delete the grass to start with..
but let me know, and ill help out if needed..

its a savegame map. i have tried the foliage layer but cant seem to remove it .

no because you load the savegame which have other data than the map.. the map will only load the "new" foliage edit you have made if you start a new savegame because your savegame have files telling the game what and where the crops are planted and that overrides the edits to foliage you do in the editor..
so to get around it, you need to take the grle files from your savegame, move them to your maps map01 (most likely) folder and overwrite the files.. then when you load up the map in the editor it will load the foliage from your savegame.. and then it should work..
just make sure to take backups of the savegame and map before you do it..

i have a folder with the map data in it and i only use that one to make changes then save them and then paste to the mod folder overwriting the zip file there.

as Misophonia said

if you are just removing grass and nothing else--
1. open the map/map01 folder of the map you are editing
2. rename or copy to a different location the file named fruit_density.grle
3. open the savegame of the map you wish to remove the grass from
4. backup fruit_density.grle incase there are errors
5. copy savegame/fruit_denisty.grle to your map/map01 folder overwrite if prompted
6. open map for editing remove grass and save
7. copy map/map01/fruit_density.grle to your save game folder overwrite if prompted
8. optional restore map/map01/fruit_density.grle from step 2

if after playing your savegame for awhile and wish to re-edit grass would have to repeat same process
