[ SOLVED] Can Pacman remove a package and....

I recently switched to from Gnome to KDE. I find that Kde uses a better tool kit and that it has a much better road map. So little by little I've been install more kde programs and removing thier gnome alternatives.

I want to remove gtk2 but Pacman keeps telling me the list of the applications that it depends on. I Dont care. I want them all off. Does anyone know of a comand that can remove a package and ALL of its dependencies. Or maybe even a script ?

Thanks. 

EDIT: SOLVED!

Has a few options I can select when removing a package Cascade and Recurive.

Im sure these can be dont in the terminal aswell. But I dont know how.

Re: [ SOLVED] Can Pacman remove a package and....

Those aren't dependencies, those are reverse dependencies - stuff that depends on GTK2.

Anyways...

pacman -Rs: removes package and dependencies

pacman -Rc: removes package and reverse dependencies

Options can be combined, e.g. "pacman -Rsc foo".

Please read the man pages. Thank you.
