Removing unused packages by name

Let's say you want to delete the following packages:

• zim
• mpv
• smplayer

  pacman -Rs zim mpv smplayer

List all installed packages

List and redirect the output to the file "pkglist.txt"

  pacman -Qqe > pkglist.txt

List all packages with size

  LC_ALL=C pacman -Qi | awk '/^Name/{name=$3} /^Installed Size/{print $4$5, name}' | sort -h
