 * Hi – I’d also like to know how to remove a custom cap that has been add / created
   via the members plugin.
    Can’t seem any obvious way to do this via the UI. Thanks!

 * Hi there,
 * Unfortunately, once a capability is created it can’t be removed at this stage.
   The only way to “remove” it is to make sure it’s not granted to any role. I’m
   sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.
 * Cheers
