After adding a package, e.g. MarketData, with:

Pkg.add("MarketData")

which also installs dependencies:

INFO: Installing BufferedStreams v0.4.0
INFO: Installing Codecs v0.4.0
...

how can I remove or uninstall the package and all its dependencies?

From the documentation:

Pkg.rm("MarketData")

rm(pkg)

Remove all requirement entries for pkg from Pkg.dir("REQUIRE") and call Pkg.resolve().

This also removes dependencies:
