De-install apps

I just like a clean system. But i can’t find the way to de-install apps. I’am a newbie here so…anyone can help?

Check out the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Removing_packages

Also, how new are you to Arch Linux and/or Linux in general?

Thkzzz ddnn. I tried different linux distro’s before, Ubuntu, Zorin, MX, ect. This is my first time with Arch Linux. Love it, but have to learn a lot, i think :grinning:

You’re welcome!

Well, so long as you are not new to Linux, then Arch shouldn’t be too hard to learn.

The wiki link I sent you has a search function at the top, so you can search for other Arch-based commands, but most of what you will need is in that particular link/article.

One more thing:

To search for package names, in case you don’t remember the full name, you can use the commands below. The first one only uses one search term, but just by adding a separator, you can search for multiple.

Notice how you separate search terms using a |.

pacman -Q | grep -A 0 -E "(kde)"

OR

pacman -Q | grep -A 0 -E "(kde|dash|dock|panel)"

You’re welcome @Coel68

Judging by the extra Zs, I’m assuming it’s all good now? If yes, you can close this thread by picking a solution.
