Before you start airflow make sure you set load_example variable to False in airflow.cfg file. By default it is set to True.

load_examples = False

If you have already started airflow, you have to manually delete example DAG from the airflow UI. Click on delete icon available on the right side of the DAG to delete it.

Instead of manually deleting example DAG, you can reset your database by using airflow resetdb command but that will delete your connections and variables and other important information. Do not use airflow resetdb option in production.
