If not, in the future, once the version of Pandoc in Hackage has been updated, is it then possible to remove the added source?

Yes, thank you.  The ‘—snapshot' was in the documentation.  I should have noticed it.

The 'delete-source' doesn’t appear to be in the ‘cabal sandbox —help’ page, although 'cabal sandbox list-sources’ supposedly mentions it once you have local build trees.  I'll see if that ends up being the case.

Thank you.
