+It could certianly be a bug in the special remote implementation. It's also
+possible for some special remotes to intentionally not be able to remove
+content (this is the case with the web special remote, and the bup special
+remote at least).
+
+You can manually remove the special remote, by editing .git/config and
+deleting the stanza for that remote. You may want to run `git annex dead
+$remotename` first, if you don't intend to ever use that special remote
+again.
