My NodeRED instance in running in the cloud. There is no hardware attached.  
How can the 4 Rasberry PI nodes (keyboard, GPIO in/GPIO out) be removed from the Node palette at the left side?

I tried to "npm uninstall" something but these nodes are not installed by npm nor by the palette editor.

Those nodes are part of the core install of Node-RED - they are not separate modules you can remove with npm.

You have three options:

1. leave them there
2. open the Manage Palette dialog, find them under the 'node-red' module and disable them.
3. edit your settings.js file and add a `nodeExcludes` entry that lists node files the runtime should ignore. You can see that in action with the default settings file we use in IBM Cloud - [https://github.com/ibmets/node-red-bluemix-starter/blob/master/bluemix-settings.js#L47](https://github.com/ibmets/node-red-bluemix-starter/blob/master/bluemix-settings.js#L47)

IMHO option 2. is the easiest and removes them from the node pallet on the left side of the editor window.
