Is there a good script for deleting unwanted pacman and aur packages? One that goes through every single one and asks me if I want do delete it or something similar
Even a clean install usually has over 800 packages. Some people have over 2000 packages. Going through them one at a time in a script probably wouldn’t be the best solution.
What are you trying to accomplish?

Just uninstalling some unwanted programs apps and others since I probably have a ton of ones that I dont use. I’d like to just see what I need and what I don’t need. Trying to make my endeavour + hyprland as barebones as possible while keeping my hyprland config. Also my setup for some reason uses more than 5.5Gb of ram on standby and would like to delete things that turn on on startup and aren’t needed

I would use something like expac '%n - %d' to give you a simple readable list of all the packages and then remove the ones you don’t want.
Just keep in mind that most packages are brought in as dependencies of other packages so might be needed.
