 `Eliminar' has the same meaning. You have said also that:

SV> Aquí he considerado dos posibilidades para "remove": Borrar o eliminar.
SV> Las dos me parecen correctas. Elegí borrar porque es la que uso

 So the bug is still there.

 Please, choose among `desinstalar', `remover' (as it was before you edited
the file), `sacar', `quitar', `extirpar' (too strong, conflicts with
`purgar').

 Thanks.

PS: I am discussing this here because there was no such agreement on the
lists about this translation. I was very surprised to see it applied.
