The same way as any other.

Expanding on karol, That would be sudo pacman -R <PackageName>
If you cannot figure out the exact name of the package (it is not the same as the name of archive you installed), use pacman -Qsq to provide a list of installed packages.

Any examples of such packages?
use pacman -Qsq to provide a list of installed packages.
'pacman -Qq' is enough.
'pacman -U' operations are logged too, so check /var/log/pacman.log
grep 'pacman -U' /var/log/pacman.log

Hi Karol,
I read my post and guess I was not clear. Look at the directory for the following package:
ewaller@odin:~/devel/build/any2dvd 1153 %ll
total 628
-rw-r--r-- 1 ewaller users 1073 Oct 3 2011 PKGBUILD
-rw-r--r-- 1 ewaller users 303352 Oct 8 18:25 any2dvd-0.34-5-any.pkg.tar.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 ewaller users 321494 Oct 8 18:25 any2dvd-0.34.tar.bz2
drwxr-xr-x 3 ewaller users 4096 Oct 8 18:25 pkg
drwxr-xr-x 3 ewaller users 4096 Oct 8 18:25 src
ewaller@odin:~/devel/build/any2dvd 1154 %
One installs this with pacman -U any2dvd-0.34-5-any.pkg.tar.xz
To uninstall, it is pacman -R any2dvd
What I meant is that the commands are asymmetric.
