If you are looking for a more sophisticated, profound, or formal word than "remove," options like eradicate, expunge, extirpate, annihilate, or excise carry much stronger nuance. For instance, while you can "remove" a stain or a rule, you "expunge" a record completely from history, "eradicate" a disease entirely from existence, or "extirpate" a weed by its very roots, giving your writing greater emotional and intellectual weight.
