NAME

dnf5-remove - Remove Command

SYNOPSIS

dnf5 remove [options] <package-spec-NF>|@<group-spec>|@<environment-spec>...

DESCRIPTION

The remove command in DNF5 is used for removing installed packages, groups or environments from the system.

If you want to keep the dependencies that were installed together with the given package, set the clean_requirements_on_remove configuration option to False.

OPTIONS

Filters installed packages by the ID of the repository they were installed from.


Disable removal of dependencies that are no longer used.


Store the transaction to be performed offline. See offline command <#offline-command-ref-label>, dnf5-offline(8).

Store the current transaction in a directory at the specified PATH instead of running it.
The stored transaction can be performed by the replay command <#replay-command-ref-label>, dnf5-replay(8).
Note that repository ids in the stored transaction are mangled to @stored_transaction(repo_id) this is required
because during replaying the stored repositories are recreated and they might collide with already present repositories
(this doesn't apply to the special @System repository).


EXAMPLES

Remove the tito package.
