You're calling:
>
remove aCard
The dictionary reference for 'remove' states:
remove: Remove a child object.
remove reference -- the object for the command
from reference -- where to remove this child from.
So if you use 'remove' you need to also be specific about where you want to
remove it from. I have no idea what the appropriate values would be.
However, this appears to work for me:
delete aCard
Which seems to solve the problem.
