I had a site with multiple blogs for eg mysite.com/gre, mysite.com/gmat
What I have done is that ported the blogs to new site mynessite.com and set up a 301 redirect. The old content becomes the part of sitemap.xml for new site.
Should I delete the site map for mysite.com/gre, mysite.com/gmat from my old blog ?

If you have implemented proper redirects for all the content of your old websites and nothing is served from these old websites, then yes, you can delete the sitemap(s) from the old websites. Just make sure you have a new one on the new site with new URLs.

No. Just remove the pages that are no longer part of the old site. Search engines periodically re-crawl the sitemaps so there is no need to delete it. Only the obsolete content needs to go.
