You have to get the same object to remove, not a copy.

Users us_end;

foreach (var VARIABLE in ((List)Application["Users_On"]))
{
    if(VARIABLE.Id == (int)Session["Current_Id"])
    {
       us_end = (Users)VARIABLE;
       break;
    }
}

if (us_end != null)
{
    List us = ((List)Application["Users_On"]);
    us.Remove(us_end);
    Application["Users_On"] = us;
}

Edit:

Just to clarify an address here, as pst pointed, you could also implement the IEquatable interface and some overridings like on the Groo's answer to make it work, but i think it's overkill on this specific subject. Giving this as the most common practice, but making clear that it's also possible to remove items from a list, even if they are diferent instances or even diferent objects with a technique like that.
