[SOLVED] Still traces behind from Plasma, how to remove?

The other day i installed Plasma 5.6 to try it out. I did install plasma meta package and kde applications meta package, tried it out for a half and hour and decided to remove it with

sudo pacman -Rns plasma-meta kde-applications-meta

today when updating my system i got:

Packages (34) attica-qt5-5.24.0-1  desktop-file-utils-0.23-1  gcc-6.1.1-3  gcc-libs-6.1.1-3
              intel-ucode-20160607-2  karchive-5.24.0-1  kauth-5.24.0-1  kbookmarks-5.24.0-1

How do i remove all that was installed with plasma from my computer without reinstalling Arch from scratch? Just like the state was before installing those two meta-packages?

Re: [SOLVED] Still traces behind from Plasma, how to remove?

This is due to the circular dependency kio <-> kinit.

pacman -Rnsdd kio

should do it.

Well, feeling like a help vampire. Thank you. Worked like charm.

I need and shall read man-pages and the wiki and try u n d e r s t a n d i n g what i actually do before installing anything or uninstalling something.
Thanks again.
