[SOLVED] Do i need these orphan packages?

Yaourt gave me this message after system upgrade:

Packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer required by any installed package:
ggz-client-libs
libepc
libgdata
libtracker

My guess is that i should delete them right? Anyone oppose to that idea?

That is your call. Look at the pkg description and decide if you need them or not.

you can safely remove them.
if they'd have any dependencies, pacman will recognize that and show them.
