how to remove one contact from multiple groups

I know how to remove multiple contacts and how to one-by-one remove contacts, but how do you deal with a contact who is in 100 groups and should be removed from all of them? I do not want to delete the contact, just take this person off the mailing lists they were mistakenly added to.

No way to do this quickly in the user interface. If you have direct DB access, you could run a delete query against the civicrm_group_contact table for rows with this contact id - or maybe better update the status for those rows to "Removed".
