Cannot remove hyprland

[whitewolfAK47]

I get errors when trying to remove/delete hyprland from my computer:

fj@whitewolf ~ % yay -Rns hyprland
checking dependencies…
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing hyprland breaks dependency ‘hyprland’ required by grimblast-git
:: removing hyprland breaks dependency ‘hyprland’ required by hyprshade
:: removing hyprland breaks dependency ‘hyprland’ required by ml4w-hyprland
→ exit status 1
fj@whitewolf ~ %

Is there a way to remove it without having to remove the dependences individually? I just wanted to speed up the process as it is rather time-consuming and annoying, if not I guess I will remove them individually.

TBH IDKW I never asked this question and I have run into this issue on Linux a lot throughout my life and always wondered if there was any easy way to remove a program that had dependences that it had. This always kinda drove me batty, If not I guess I got a lot of removing/deleting to do…

You could use,

$sudo pacman -Rdd hyprland

It will simply remove hyprland package from your system, but may break the dependencies in pacman. Do it at your own risk.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

thank you @chroot. in that case i suppose i am going to just remove the dependencies individually. i don’t wanna mess up my computer. thank you for the info, it was most helpful.

You include the other ones with it.

sudo pacman -Rns hyprland grimblast-git hyprshade ml4w-hyprland

Pure genius thank you so much you solved my problem. I’m going to sleep with my dog now. He’s literally on top of me, he’s a big-time cuddler. Thank you so much for my friend, much appreciated. I hope you have a wonderful night!
