And is there a way to remove permissions?

There is no way to see who you have granted permission to, and there is no way to remove permissions that have been granted. Even deleting the family tree will not remove it for others who have permissions.

Are you saying that if I delete a family tree it remains on your server and that anyone I previously granted access to can get to it?
This was the case when I tested it years ago. but I think there has been some work done on the permission system lately. You could test to see if it is still the case by creating a new tree, sharing it with a different email address of yours, visiting it with that email address, then deleting the tree. I would be interested in knowing if this is still the case as well.
Any deleted tree can still be recovered from your account. There's an option to display the trees you previously deleted and to recover them.
So even if they indeed remain in the server, you could very well empty everything on that tree, so even if someone else has access, they will only get a blank page. Or make a copy of that tree, then empty it, the copy not having anyone else but you with access.
