Deleting package and all dependencies with it?

Hi everyone in the Arch Linux forum! Let me just first say... I LOVE ARCH LINUX big_smile. Screw ubuntu. Lol. However I do have a wee problem. I accidentally installed the KDE version of a program (I'm using Gnome!) called Acetone Iso. (in the AUR) Using Yaourt. and I've been trying to figure out how to remove it. and all the dependencies it installed. I have done some research. I've tryed doing Pacman -Rs but. it won't remove the additional programs. I've tried using Yaourt to do the same thing. but nothing. Is there perhaps an easy way to do this? Or am I screwed and have to remove them the hard way.

Thank you everyone! cool

pacman -Rcn for the package+deps and -Rcns for package+deps+deep deps (be careful on that)

Re: Deleting package and all dependencies with it?

The -Rs will only remove those dependencies that are not needed by other programs. Have you checked the wiki or the man page.

Re: Deleting package and all dependencies with it?

Now would anyone know how to write the currently installed programs to a text file. I know you can list them with pacman -Qs but it does't list them all......

It definitely lists them all, its just that your terminal emulator scrolls and so you can't see them all at once.
You can either write them to a file as JohnVV suggested or simply pipe them to "more" or "less"

pacman -Qs | less

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: Deleting package and all dependencies with it?

Thank you all so much. I've never seen such excellent support on a forum before. I owe you all my life... or.. rather.. my computer. LOL
