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")
