Sounds like he's probably using:
pkg_delete squid-2.0.tgz
instead of just:
pkg_delete squid-2.0

Try 'man pkg_delete'? ;-)
Seriously, try the manual pages... Looking through them :-
pkg_info -I -a
Will show you all the packages the system thinks it has installed, then you
should be able to do:
pkg_delete pacakge-name
(e.g. on my system I could remove squid with "pkg_delete squid-2.0")
