pacman -Rns thermald or anything close does not remove it, I would be fine keeping it if it worked.
if I run systemctl status thermald.service, everything has failed, I have used the configuration program and have sensors installed but it stil ldoesn ot work.
removing it doesnt seem to work either, should I simply remove al traces of it using "find ..." theres plenty of files in systemd and such, but pacman doesn't find it to remove.
EDIT: forgot to mention ; deleteing the folder still leaves services running, so a reinstall with yaourt doesnt work because the services are stil lfound, and it cancells

when you remove the package, the processes would still be running… until you reboot.
But, that shouldn't stop you from a reinstall of the package.
Also, what do you mean by "everything has failed" and " doesnt seem to work either" - can you be a bit more detailed (program outputs, full logs, etc)?

What I can understand from the status call is that thermald has no access to the sensors, its not communicating with the machine, a reboot still has systemd/thermald.. etc stuff still present so it doesnt like to re-install, that leaves loads of files to manually delete junk in in order for a fresh install, this is very annoying.
so error is "error: thermald exists in file system."

Before removing, try systemctl stop thermald.service and systemctl disable thermald.service and then uninstall.
