In LO ( 4.1.1 on Linux ) can I remove the spell checker ( not turn off ) ?

Which one[s] do you have and which one[s] do you want to remove?

I assume you are talking about the "locked" ones that are seen in the
Extension Manager?

It will be helpful to know these things.

Uninstall either hunspell-XX (or myspell-XX) package, or hunspell library packages entirely.

Why do you want them to be removed?
That is the real question.

If it is a Linux "system" package, then I would use the Synaptic Package
Manager [best one I use for Ubuntu 12.04] or whatever package manager or
software manager your Linux system prefers to use.

I wondered if someone would ask
We are a school and sometimes students with difficulties get a laptopto do exams. Since everyone else is writing the answers the exam boards say the spell checker must be disabled in such a way that it is not possible to use during the exam so not to give these students an unfair advantage. 
Best wishes

If this laptop has a local installation of LibreOffice, you can uninstall the dictionary on that laptop. You find it in Tools > Extension Manager. In addition, you can remove the source of the dictionary from the LO install folder, sub-folder share > extensions.

If the laptop uses a server installation of LibreOffice, then do not allow the network connection, but put a portable version of LO on the laptop and remove the dictionary in that portable version as described above.

If you can trust and control, that the student does not alter the configuration of LO, you can do this: Goto Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids. Uncheck all of Available language modules.

Kind regards
