How to Remove Packages With the pkgrm Command

1. Log in to the installed system and become root.

   At the shell prompt, type:

   $ su

2. Remove one or more packages from the system using the pkgrm command.

   # /usr/sbin/pkgrm pkgid

   In this command,

   pkgid

   Is the name of the software package to be removed from the installed system. For example, SUNWaudio.

3. Verify that the package has been removed correctly.

   # /usr/sbin/pkgchk pkgid

   If the pkgchk command determines that the package is not installed, it will print a warning message.
