Remove collider (and BoundDispatcher) from engines. That's about it. 

Interaction will be properly deleted in InteractionDispatchers (though
it will warn you once that there is probably no collider).

You should (to save time) actually also remove all potential
interactions (currently a method only in c++, but I add wrapper in
python as well) using O.interactions.eraseNonReal().
