DESCRIPTION

       g.remove allows the user to remove specified data base  element  files  from  the  current
       mapset.

EXAMPLE

       For  example,  the  below command will cause the raster maps named soils, slope, and temp,
       the vector maps named roads and rail, and the imagery group files named nhap.1 and nhap.2,
       and these files' associated support files (e.g., cell header files, category files, etc.),
       to be removed from the user's current mapset.
       g.remove rast=soils,slope,temp vect=roads,rail group=nhap.1,nhap.2

NOTE

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

       The user can only use g.remove to remove data files  existing  under  the  user's  current
       mapset.

       To remove multiple files, the script g.mremove may be used.

FILES

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