 * Hello,
 * If anyone else finds they’re removing NextGen for some reason and want to cleanup
   their capabilities here’s a quick script to clean out ngg capabilities:
 * // Remove Unwanted Capabilities (NextGen Gallery)
    add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘
   clean_ngg_caps’ ); function clean_ngg_caps(){ $delete_caps = array(‘NextGEN Gallery
   overview’, ‘NextGEN Use TinyMCE’, ‘NextGEN Upload images’, ‘NextGEN Manage gallery’,‘
   NextGEN Manage tags’, ‘NextGEN Manage others gallery’, ‘NextGEN Edit album’, ‘
   NextGEN Change style’, ‘NextGEN Change options’, ‘NextGEN Attach Interface’);
   global $wp_roles; foreach ($delete_caps as $cap) { foreach (array_keys($wp_roles-
   >roles) as $role) { $wp_roles->remove_cap($role, $cap); } } }
 * Hope someone finds that helpful,
    Cheers

 * Great, thanks mee too. Even “User Role Editor” Plugin was not able to remove 
   those fields without underscores, as in ….b:1;s:18:”NextGEN Edit album”;…. which
   i think should rather have been something like “nextgen_edit_album”
