How do I remove Thunderbird?

General system Applications
1

I have tried using:

yay -Sr thunderbird

without success.
Any suggestions?

The operation is -R for “remove” not -S for “sync”.

So, yay -R thunderbird or sudo pacman -R thunderbird.

yay -S installs. yay -R removes. Although I’d use pacman instead…

I personally would do pacman -Rcsn as it removes anything that’s unused that thunderbird depended on recursively and removes any system configurations of what it’s uninstalling (NOT user configurations). Of course, if you DO use that agressive options, you should also pay attention to make sure something important isn’t going to be removed with it.
