how do I remove the robot ir remote library from my Arduino?
delete the folder in your operating system (under arduino/libraries, library name), restart IDE.. done. I will say, no harm in keeping it around bar a tiny bit of storage on your hard drive. unless you add #include libraryname to your program, it wont impact your current/new program at all.

now I have removed it, but the IR remote sketch now has this error message
well---if you delete the libraries from your hard drive, your compiler wont be able to use them 
you cant have any pudding unless you eat your meat...
does the top of your current sketch have anything that looks like this?
#include <IRremote.h>
#include <IRremoteInt.h>
those are libraries calls. if the library is no longer on your hard drive, the program wont compile. remove any library calls that point to libraries you have removed. it should compile (unless of course, you program actually needs those libraries to run).

those 2 were included but surely the robot IR has to be removed to allow the main IR command to work without conflict. I am desperate to get the IR working.
It now has the following error message with those 2 removed (and programming the IR is required)
"IrRemote.ino:6:22: fatal error: IRremote.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Multiple libraries were found for "IRremote.h"
Error compiling."
now I have removed it
Obviously, you have NOT!
"IrRemote.ino:6:22: fatal error: IRremote.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Multiple libraries were found for "IRremote.h"
You need to send your computer to someone that has a clue. You can't possibly have two and no IRremote.h files at the same time.

Each library has example files. Delete the code you have now, start a new using the example from the library you want to test.
No one here has offered the solution to how to remove this library. You can't just go into the libraries folder under arduino. That only works for libraries that you installed yourself. The standard libraries are not in that folder. Can someone please give an actual answer to this?
