Since I am non-english I had to consult a dictionary now:
...
- remove: to change the location, position -- but also to get rid
of, eliminate
I think the first meaning of "remove" is what our teachers tell us.
Interesting! As a native English speaker, the second meaning is
relevant. I have never heard of the first, although it makes sense
etymologically, as in `move again'!
I would use a word such as `move' or `detach'.
