• Remove a package, leaving all of its dependencies installed:

xbps-remove {{package_name}}

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

xbps-remove --recursive {{package_name}}

• Synchronize your repository databases and update your system and dependencies:

xbps-install --sync --update

• Remove packages that were installed as dependencies and aren't currently needed:

xbps-remove --remove-orphans

• Remove obsolete packages from the cache:

xbps-remove --clean-cache
