Uninstalling Gnome without any problems [Solved]

I had a bunch of problems with my compuer after uninstalling KDE. So I instaled Gnome and then OpenBox. I Only use OpenBox and want to get rid of Gnome. How should I go about doing that so I don't run in to problems? Or what problems do you think I will have and how should i fix them?

Well I just did a -Rs gnome to get a list of things that will be removed I guess I'll just learn about them one by one i.e. I know I don't need gnome-vonlume-manager and I am going to use Thunar not Nautilus so I guess I don't need it. This should all go rather well now that I think about it because I have already instealled all the programs that I use. The -Rs comand will only remove programs that I don't need or were not installed my be one by one i.e. GTK is not in the list nore is screenlets

I'm glad you figured this out. It's also possible to remove a group with

pacman -Rg gnome

Would you please mark this thread as solved? That way others who are looking to remove gnome can find help. (Edit your first post)
