I'm paranoid at removing orphans

Hi guys, I was trying to clear up some space as I was running out of it so, I ran:

 sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq) 

and I got this:

I'm basically paranoid because IIRC, libappindicator is working with xfce and wireless_tools is also important. I'm relatively new with arch so I don't know if it is safe to do it. I'm using xfce4 if that's of any help.

Thanks guys!

Re: I'm paranoid at removing orphans

Well, wireless_tools is only required by conky and i3status.

To be honest, it looks safe -- ymmv.  If things go badly, it should not be difficult to reinstall packages.

Re: I'm paranoid at removing orphans

unless you have installed software by yourself, I mean , not using pacman, then you are safe.
