    The $role parameter is validated against currently active roles for this blog. That means this method cannot be used to “clean-up” obsolete role assignmens for roles that had once existed but do no more.

    If used as part of the a plug-in uninstall, be certain to first un-assign roles from users before removing the role definition from the blog: 

    $user = new \WP_User( null, 'some user loguin' );
	if ( $user->exists() )
		// First un-assign still-existing custom role from user.
		$user->remove_role( 'custom_role' );
	
	// Then remove custom role from blog.
	\remove_role( 'custom_role' );
