How to remove a Brew package and all its dependencies?
TIL You can use the autoremove
command to remove the leftovers from a package previously installed by brew.
- List all the installed packages:
brew leaves
- Remove an installed package:
brew uninstall [package]
- Remove all the leftovers from an uninstalled package:
brew autoremove
When executing this command, pay attention to stdout
. Brew does not clear some (config) files left from the autoremove
command and it warnings you about that.
