Some are removed due to a new development / change in the story that gives them redeeming traits, enough sympathy or moral agency (like being made of evil, secretly brainwashed etc.) to disqualify them, others due to when re-looking its revealed someone missed something or the character be exaggerated by someone to sound worse (either a little or a lot) to have them count. There are multiple ways but these are the reasons I often hear about.
