how do I remove orphaned dependencies from pacman and yay
$ pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq) && yay -Rns $(yay -Qdtq)
try on your machine
This command will remove orphaned dependencies from both pacman and yay package managers in Linux. It uses pacman to remove orphaned packages first, and then uses yay (AUR helper) to remove orphaned AUR packages. The -Rns option removes the target package along with its configuration files, and $(pacman -Qdtq) / $(yay -Qdtq) lists all the orphaned packages.
