Description
Since 1.6 (so it works fine under 1.5) every time a user tries to remove a vector map in GRASS toolbox browser using the proper toolbar button results in the following error message
Cannot delete map XXX command: regio g.remove.exe vect=XXX
the vector is then not completely removed from the mapset.

Fix remove GRASS vector map from mapset on Win OS (should be fix #3646 together with grass-dev package),
disable refresh button in GRASS browser if a module is running

it fails also from the GRASS command line

it fails also under qgis 1.5, in fact it depends if the GRASS vector is being displayed in the QGIS TOC. If it is in the TOC then the error message is returned with its consequences, if the vector is not added in the QGIS project then is removed correctly from the mapset.

in qgis 1.6/trunk it fails regardless if the vector was added to the qgis project or not

it's maybe a problem in wingrass itself and not in the grass-plugin.
see http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1158
in an actual nightly wingrass65-build I have to delete the same vector twice
g.remove vect=mygeol@g65 Removing vector <mygeol@g65> Kann Datei 'C:\\gisdata\\grassdata/nc_spm_08/g65/vector/mygeol/hist' nicht löschen. couldn't be removed <mygeol> nothing removed (Sun Mar 27 16:58:58 2011) Command finished (0 sec) (Sun Mar 27 16:59:03 2011) g.remove vect=mygeol@g65 Removing vector <mygeol@g65> (Sun Mar 27 16:59:03 2011) Command finished (0 sec)

I have no idea on how to do what is asked under Windows. I hope that someone will step in because this bug hurts a lot the user experience.

The issue has been solved upstream in GRASS 6.4.2 svn. We (Faunalia, Giuseppe Sucameli) made the packages to test the fix in OSGeo4w and the issue is fixed indeed.
It was also necessary to make further fixes to the QGIS/GRASS plugin
f1d7062c3ed3474785ca2ef03675397cbfa37d32
in order to avoid further problems, especially under the Windows platform.
The issue can be considered fixed, but only if/when GRASS 6.4.2 (svn) will be available in OSGeo4w (and then subsequently in the standalone installer).
