<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>g.remove</em> allows the user to remove specified data
base element files from the current mapset.  

<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>

For example, the below command will cause the raster maps
named <em>soils</em>, <em>slope</em>, and <em>temp</em>,
the vector maps named <em>roads</em> and <em>rail</em>,
and the


<a href="i.group.html">imagery</a> group files

named <em>nhap.1</em> and <em>nhap.2</em>, and these files'
associated support files (e.g., cell header files, category
files, etc.), to be removed from the user's current
mapset.

<div class="code"><pre>
g.remove rast=soils,slope,temp vect=roads,rail group=nhap.1,nhap.2
</pre></div>

<h2>NOTE</h2>

If a particular data base element file has support files
associated with it (e.g., as is commonly the case with
raster maps), <em>g.remove</em> will remove these support
files along with the data base element file specified.

<p>
The user can only use <em>g.remove</em> to remove data
files existing under the user's <em>current mapset</em>.

<p> 
To remove multiple files, the script <em>g.mremove</em> may be used.

<h2>FILES</h2>

<kbd>$GISBASE/etc/element_list</kbd> lists the element 
types whose files can be removed by the user.
