What OS and PowerShell version are you on? Your rm cert:\\CurrentUser\My\thumbprint example works on my machine.

The other way I would do it is via the pipeline. But ultimately, it's the same thing using Remove-Item.

gci cert:\CurrentUser\My | Remove-Item

The Remove-Item documentation indicates the ability to use it against certificates was added in PowerShell version 3.0.
