[SOLVED] How to clean things up?

Since I'm quite new to Arch, I must've installed a dozen packages which I don't need and only take space. Is there some sort of way to detect everything that isnt used? Since a lot of packaged depend on other packages before they can run properly I can't just delete stuff. Or would the best way be to just start over since I now how more knowledge of what I want and how to get it?

pacman -Qqet     to list explicitly installed packages
pacman -Qqdt     to list orphaned packages
