and following that was output that looked like

        . ado descr outreg

        ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        [17] package outreg from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/o
       <snip>

        ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        [31] package outreg from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/o
       <snip>

        ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        [41] package outreg from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/o
       <snip>

        ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        [54] package outreg from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/o
       <snip>

        ----------------------------------------------------------------------

        [62] package outreg from http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/o
       <snip>

When you have multiple packages installed under the same name, refer to 
the packages by their number.  Type 

        . ado uninstall [54]
        . ado uninstall [41]
        . ado uninstall [31]
        . ado uninstall [17]

Note that I uninstalled the packages in backwards order.  You can uninstall 
them in forward order,

        . ado uninstall [17]

but after each, be sure you do an -ado list- to find out the new sequence
number assigned to what is left.  Packages are numbered sequentially and so,
what was 31 will now be 30:

        . ado uninstall [30]

Now you will have to check again.  (41 became 40 after uninstalling 17, and 
will become 39 after uninstalling 30.)
