xbps: Remove a package and all of its dependencies recursively that are not required by other packages.

xbps-remove

$ xbps-remove --recursive ${package_name}

try on your machine

The xbps-remove command is used to remove packages from the system using the X Binary Package System (XBPS), which is the package manager used by Void Linux.

The --recursive option in this command specifies that all dependencies of the specified ${package_name} should also be removed. Dependencies are additional packages that the specified package depends on in order to function properly. By including the --recursive option, all these dependencies will be uninstalled as well.

${package_name} in this command is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to remove. You need to replace ${package_name} with the name of the actual package you want to uninstall. For example, if you want to remove the package named example-package, the command would be xbps-remove --recursive example-package.

When executed, this command will remove the specified package and all its dependencies from the system, freeing up disk space and removing any associated files.
