How do i remove some packages i evidently installed

[enio@enioentity ~]$ pacseek
bash: pacseek: command not found
[enio@enioentity ~]$ pacman -Qm
alpm_octopi_utils 1.0.2-3
libpamac-aur 11.5.7-1
octopi 0.14.0-2
pamac-aur 11.0.1-2
snapd 2.60-1
snapd-glib 1.63-1

how to remove those pamac files and those snapd files

Welcome to the forum.

Using pacman is the standard way to do it.

sudo pacman -R pamac-aur snapd snapd-glib

etc…

You will probably have a bunch of unused dependencies (orphans), so you can list those with

pacman -Qdtq

and remove them manually (exactly as above). Or you can use a pacman wrapper/AUR helper, like yay and run the following command to remove all of these orphans at once:

yay -Yc

Looks like you assumed pacseek is preinstalled. In most Arch distros it is not. As for remove of those files follow the instructions in Kresimir’s post.

Ah! thx guys, im a total newb to linux, im just starting my linux journey…

Invest some time in reading up on package management and system maintenance on Arch.

Here below there are a couple of links to start with.

If you find the information overwhelming at first, take it in by bits and pieces. The reward is all the more great in the long run compared to the time invested.
