What is the reverse method of org-id-get-create -- i.e., remove the ID property drawer and also remove the corresponding entry in the org-id-locations-file?

org-id-get-create calls org-id-get, which calls org-id-add-location, which updates the global org-id-locations hash-table. This does not automatically update the org-id-locations-file. I have chosen to add org-id-locations-save to a custom version of org-id-get -- just after the call to org-id-add-location. However, that is not mission critical since there are other methods such as the kill-emacs-hook that trigger org-id-locations-save. [I simply want my database updated forthwith.]
The following function will remove the ID property drawer and update both the org-id-locations hash-table and the org-id-locations-file.
(defun org-id-remove-entry ()
"Remove/delete the ID entry and update the databases.
Update the `org-id-locations' global hash-table, and update the
`org-id-locations-file'. `org-id-track-globally' must be `t`."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(org-back-to-heading t)
(when (org-entry-delete (point) "ID")
(org-id-update-id-locations nil 'silent))))
The OP asked how to remove, I have been happy hiding it with this config:
(setq org-id-locations-file "/path/to/state-directory")
