To be clear, the package was removed, but pkg let a few files behind
because it believes you edited them from their original package state and
you might want to keep your local changes.

If you dont want to keep those files, simply remove them with rm(1).
Nothing more to do with pkg, as far as it is concerned the package was
deleted.
