Thanks. I wouldn't have found that by myself.
Unfortunately, having issued

As it says in the subject, how do I remove a package that I installed
(with the --user flag) via cabal?
Come to that, how do I list the packages I've installed via cabal?
cabal list --installed includes all the GHC standard library (which I
didn't install) and it doesn't seem to support a --user f
