## How to uninstall KDE Plasma

:::note
Keep in mind that none of the methods will remove your files in the `.config` and `.cache` directories left from KDE Plasma.

If you want to transition from KDE Plasma to GNOME, you may need to remove specific files and modifications made by KDE, such as the `gtk-3.0 and gtk-4.0 folders`.

<Tabs>

<TabItem label='Safe Method'>

:::note
This method avoids dealing with dependencies that might be used by other packages. However, it will leave some packages installed from KDE Plasma and may result in orphaned packages.
:::

```sh title='Open a terminal and run the following command'
sudo pacman -Runs plasma
```

</TabItem>

<TabItem label='Safe Method with Orphan Cleanup'>

:::note
This method is similar to the `Safe Method` with the difference that this one removes orphans too.

Be aware that you might encounter some `breaks dependency with` instances. Proceed with caution.
:::

```sh title='Open a terminal and run the following command'
sudo pacman -Rns plasma
```

</TabItem>

<TabItem label='Complete Uninstallation'>

:::danger
Only use this method if you are sure you want to remove everything related to KDE Plasma from your system.

This approach is more aggressive, you'll need to manage dependencies and check for any programs that depend on the packages being removed. Proceed with caution.
:::

```sh title='Open a terminal and run the following command'
sudo pacman -Rcs plasma
```

</TabItem>

</Tabs>
