Remove package with dependencies arch pacman yaourt
- 12 May 2017: Post was created (diff)
I mostly use yaourt instead of pacman to make my life easier when installing AUR packages. But they have the same syntax for this specific task.
Remove a package along with its installed dependencies
$ yaourt -Rcs <package>
RremovecRemove packages that are no longer installed from the cache as well as currently unused sync databasessRemove each target specified including all of their dependencies, provided that (A) they are not required by other packages; and (B) they were not explicitly installed by the user.
