What do you mean by remove ? Fill them as separate polygons ? Make them 
part of the containing polygon ?

If the latter and if the holes are all smaller than existing polygons, 
one possible path I see is making them into actual areas using 
v.centroids and then merge them with the outside polygon using v.clean 
with the tool=rmarea.
