I guess my mistake was to click the ">>" at the end of this 
warnng/message/"error"/whatever, which took me to the 
Mathematica documentation for Remove::rmnsm, in which I 
read, quote:

  "An error occurs if there are no symbols with names that 
   match the string pattern given in the argument of Remove"
