Comment:

 In this particular instance I was editing apt.py with the Leo Editor the
 same time as testing `apt remove`. Leo was using msvcp71.dll so of course
 it couldn't be deleted. Moral of the story: close other apps using
 anything in the o4w tree before attempting to uninstall.

 On the bright side, it appears `apt install` and `apt remove` can be run
 successively until it finally gets everything done.
