[SOLVED]Pacman doesn't find an AUR package(heimdall)

I try to delete an aur package named  heimdall. When I type:

man heimdall ==> No manual entry for heimdall
sudo pacman -Rs heimdall ==> error: target not found: heimdall
whereis heimdall ==> heimdall: /usr/bin/heimdall

Typing heimdall,  shows me how to use heimdall. In menu I can even open heimdall's gui.
So the question is, how do I delete such an item?

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman doesn't find an AUR package(heimdall)

sudo pacman -Qi heimdall

  should show some info

sudo pacman -Rs heimdall

  seems to work here

maybe try reinstalling heimdall from your aur pkg cache if still
exists, then retry

sudo pacman -Rs heimdall

There are 4 different aur packages that could provide /usr/bin/heumdall.  See post #3 above to know which one you installed.

Two commands you've posted now have given you the information that your actual package name is heimdall-git , so remove that.
