-R means remove the package.

-Rn means remove the package and don’t create .pacsave files. In almost all cases, pacsave files won’t be created either way. They only get created when you have modified an important config file in a system location like /etc. I would always say it is better to have a backup of a file like that. In this specific case, -Rn and -R do the same thing.

-Rs removes the package and everything that it depends on. This includes optional dependencies of other packages. Personally, I prefer to cleanup orphans periodically and not risk removing optional dependencies or otherwise removing things I wanted installed.

I got the same error but cannot uninstall qqc2-dekstop-style5. Getting

error: target not found: qqc2-dekstop-style5

But the package is installed.

local/qqc2-desktop-style5 5.115.0-1 (kf5)

Edit: Nevermind, pacman -Rs worked, even though pacman -R didn’t.
Edi2: Both work. I made a dumb typo.

There’s a typo in “desktop / dekstop”.
