[Solved] how to uninstall AUR package threema-web

how to uninstall this package please; i was not able to start it.

# sudo pacman -R threema-web

error: target not found: threema-web

i had installed it this way from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/threema-web :

$ makepkg

i want to uninstall because i don't know to start it:

#sudo systemctl start threema-web

results in

Failed to start threema-web.service: Unit threema-web.service not found.

./launch.py
doesn't start it.

though URL localhost:4242
is active but does nothing

It doesn't look like you ever actually installed the package - you just built it.
Probably better check out the wiki again, please: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg
