[SOLVED] Deleting installed packages

What's the best way to view all my installed packages so I can delete the ones I don't need? I don't mind the terminal but I would prefer a GUI method. I use gnome and gtkpacman, but neither seem to give me the list I need directly.[

Re: [SOLVED] Deleting installed packages

If you're looking for orphan packages to remove, use this: pacman -Qdt

Re: [SOLVED] Deleting installed packages

Not trying to hijack the thread as my query does apply to the op but,,,
it's been my understanding for some time it isn't wise to just mass remove orphan packages as some of the packages may be needed by some of the installed apps and aren't true orphans.

If that was the case, then there needs to be a bug report for that package with missing deps.
