Remove Packages

Soar provides straightforward commands for removing installed packages from your system. This guide covers all removal options and scenarios.

Usage

To remove a package, use either the remove command or its aliases:

Removing Single Package

# Using remove command
soar remove <package>

# Using shorter alias
soar r <package>

# Using del alias
soar del <package>

Example: Remove 7z

soar remove 7z

Removing Multiple Packages

Remove multiple packages in a single command:

soar remove <package1> <package2> <package3>

Example: Remove 7z and bat

soar remove 7z bat

Removing Package From Specific pkg_id

soar remove <package>#<pkg_id>

Example: Remove cat from git.busybox.net.busybox.standalone.glibc pkg_id.

# Remove from specific pkg_id
soar remove cat#git.busybox.net.busybox.standalone.glibc

Removing all package installed at once using pkg_id

Example: Remove all packages from git.busybox.net.busybox.standalone.glibc pkg_id.

soar remove '#<pkg_id>'

OR, if you don't know full pkg_id but know cat is in it. This will search for all pkg_ids cat is in and prompt you to choose one:

soar remove 'cat#all'

Verification

After removal, you can verify that a package was successfully removed:

# Check if package is still installed
soar info | grep <package>
