To Remove Packages With pkgrm

1. Log in to the installed or updated system and become superuser:

   # su

2. Remove one or more packages from the system:

   # /usr/sbin/pkgrm pkgid

   Where pkgid is the name of the software package you want to remove from the installed system. For example, SUNWaudio.

3. At each prompt, type y, n, or q to specify that you want to remove the package, not remove the package, or quit.

4. When you're done, use the pkgchk(1M) command to verify that the package was removed correctly:

   # /usr/sbin/pkgchk -v pkgid

   If the package was not removed correctly, pkgchk returns a warning message.
