avlägsnat

Avlägsnat is the past participle of the Swedish verb avlägsna, meaning to remove, withdraw, or eliminate something from a location or situation. In contemporary Swedish it is used mainly in two ways: in verb phrases to express a completed removal (for example har avlägsnat or hade avlägsnat) and as a past participle that can describe something that has already been removed.

The basic forms are: infinitive avlägsna; present avlägsnar; past avlägsnade; past participle avlägsnat. In active voice you can say, for example, “vi har avlägsnat filen” (we have removed the file). In passive or perfect passive contexts you encounter forms such as “finen har avlägsnats” or “faran avlägsnades” (the meaning being that removal has occurred or the object was removed), depending on voice and tense.

Common contexts for avlägsnat include safety, health, construction, and data handling, where an object, substance, or risk is physically removed or eliminated from a setting. It is closely related to borttaget and borttagning, but avlägsnat often conveys removal from a specific place or state rather than merely taking something away. The noun form avlägsnande means the act or process of removal.
