 |
|
the following will remove the package and all of the dependencies:
| Code: | | emerge -av --depclean <pkg> |
How do I delete all of the files that came with the package as well ? like config files and etc ?
Also, I have run emerge -av --depclean on some packages without removing the files...what should I do about those ? |

With emerge -C you can add before CONFIG_PROTECT="-*".
I think this can work also with emerge --depclean

I think you mean -c and not -C ?
CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" removes config files that are in /home only ..right ? |

No, CONFIG_PROTECT remove file primarily in /etc but not in /home, usually these are created by program at runtime.

If you want to remove always config file even at the risk of losing your modifications yes
