(solved) removing gnome-mime-data and chemical-mime-data

Hi. I  would like to remove gnome-mime-data. I executed the command #pacman -Rs gnome-mime-data. The result warned that chemical-mime-data depends on gnome-mime-data. So I have to execute the command #pacman -Rsc gnome-mime-data to get rid of gnome-mime-data but also of chemical-mime-data. If I remove both do I run the risk of making the entire system crash?

I have kde installed. I forget to edit /etc/pacman.conf to IgnoreGroup = gnome before running #pacman -Syu. so now I would like to get rid some gnome stuff I found on the system. I have absolutely nothing against gnome. I just want to run only kde.
Thanks for your attention.

You don't have to have chemical-mime-data.  You must've install some chemistry related software. 

Read up mime types so that you're more familiar with them.  Basically, chemistry-mime-data would allow you to double-click a protein databank (pdb) file in a file manager and launch pymol automatically, for example.
