There is also pacman -Rc, similar to -Rs but at the moment i can't recall its purpose by itself, not forgetting -Rsc which is mentioned above. -Rsc won't delete the whole OS heheh, its a handy tool to get rid of junk. To force remove there is -Rd. Anyway, i guess this is just an introduction for potential users so u don't have to edit the article and slot in every detail. Btw im posting to say thanks, i noticed a new option which is -Rn for purging! Damn my ignorance. hi pacman -A is deprecated. pacman -U takes care of that now.
