The /alias command can be used to add, replace and remove aliases. This command ONLY works for single line aliases. This command can be used to remove an alias if you only specify the name. By default mIRC will add the alias to the first aliases script file.

Note: Trying to remove a multi-line alias will result in a "unable to remove" error message.
