removing gnome

I know pacman alleviates "rpm hell," but has anyone tried to remove the gnome group? I know I could just delete the directory in /opt, but I'd like to get it out of my pacman db if possible. If anyone knows how to do this, then please, share the info. Thanks.

Re: removing gnome

pacman -Sc (for old versions) and pacman -Scc (for all versions) is not for uninstalling packages, it is for removing the *pkg.tar.gz-files your apps come from. This is an operation done to save space, the programs will still be installed after you are done.

pacman -Rg gnome is what you should do if you wish to uninstall the gnome group.

Re: removing gnome

pacman -Rscg gnome will uninstall(R) the gnome group (g), with all dependencies (without breaking other pkgs) (s) and all packages that require  the uninstalled pkgs (c).
