 * Hi Vladimir,
 * I installed User Role Editor to remove many capabilities that have been left 
   from plug-in trials but on the main screen, I don’t get the Remove Capability
   box showing in the screen shot. I get:
    – Add New Role – Default Role for New
   User – Delete Role – Add New Capability
 * If I add a new capability using URE, the Remove Capability box shows but I can
   only remove capabilities that URE created.
 * Is there a way to remove obsolete capabilities?

 * Hi,
 * 1st, go through your roles and exclude unneeded capabilities from them.
    Plugin
   allows to remove only unused capabilities. If all capabilities is in use, plugin
   doesn’t show the ‘Remove Capability’ box.

 * Excellent Vladimir, that worked great.
 * My capabilities look so clean now 🙂
