Comment (by jidanni):

 Indeed without using the GUI, there is no way to
 - remove locations
 - remove mapsets.

 When one day there finally are, they should be added to the SEE ALSO of
 g.remove.

 And mentioned on grass7.html, which tells one how to create them from the
 command line, but forgets to then add how to remove them!

 Would it possible to add a way to remove a Mapset, or multiple Mapsets,
 from the command line? For example, add a "remove" or "delete" or "erase"
 function to the existing `g.mapset` module.

 Points to consider:

 * This functionality should not be allowed, of course!, to request for a
 removal of the current Mapset. It should only allow for removal of
 other(s) than the current Mapset.

 * Only the owner of another, than the current, Mapset, or the "admin"
 (creator of PERMANENT?), will be able to remove it.

 * Following the existing way of removing "elements" of a Mapset, a force
 flag `-f` could be required, in order to actually remove such a directory,
 and all of its contents.

 * Such an option would, maybe, make for a safer practice, if implemented
 correctly, rather than leaving as the only option to remove a Mapset
 directory, directly via the host OS' deletion functions.

 * safe `rm` parctices https://serverfault.com/a/337098/181744
