If you unload a plug-in that implements a node or data type in the scene, those instances will be converted to unknown nodes or data and the scene will no longer behave properly. Maya may become unstable or even crash. If you use this flag you are advised to save your scene in MayaAscii format and restart Maya as soon as possible.

Add a procedure to be called just before a plugin is unloaded. The procedure should have one string argument, which will be the plugin's name.
-removeCallback(-rc) script create
Remove a procedure which was previously added with -addCallback.
