Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean by ``snipped'': section 4.7
includes the exact command line to uninstall a package.

Well, can you tell what *.mft files were used and what files were not
deleted?

The Info reader has a search function. Type "/ 4.7", hit [Enter], and

Unfortunately, this is impossible: the menu lists nodes, not sections,
while section numbers are generated by the program that creates the Info
files, and they number sections.
