yay -R $
that removes only one package, i would like to remove all aur packages or at least get a list so i can remove them one by one

Did you try it? Obviously not.

[elloquin@elloquin-elloquin ~]$ yay -R $(pacman -Qmq)
[sudo] password for elloquin: 
checking dependencies...

Packages (4) chromium-widevine-1:4.10.1679.0-1  gamemode-1.5.1-2  plank-git-0.11.89.r5.20c16a0-1  timeshift-20.03-1

Total Removed Size:  13.83 MiB

didn’t realize the pacman part needed to be included

Are you still sure you want to take this action?

If you want to remove the dependencies as well you can add -s to -R. And if the command result in an error it probably means that one or more packages depend on something you want to remove. So you can add -t to pacman part ensuring that only not required packages will be removed. So, it will look like this:
yay -Rs $(pacman -Qmtq)
