Dear Molly,
My suggestion would be somewhat different than "remove all traces". While I'm not exactly sure what will be left in the ProQuest system after the removal is complete, for your institutional repository I think the best practice would be to leave a public tombstone page giving information about the date and reason for removal and some minimal metadata about the item that used to exist at that location. The original files and metadata can still be kept in a dark archive with appropriate labeling of the withdrawn status. The idea would be to think along the lines of the retraction notices of journals, rather than attempting to make the record totally disappear.
Regards,Daryl
