Thanks, -I actually should of explained that I am using the
" DesktopBSD pkg manager " which uses "portupgrade" & is a fantastic tool ,& has a section for unistalling or deleting software you installed after installing your OS.
But anything else that has dependencies etc it doesnt seem to let you delete.
AnyWay I will look further into ways to delete pkgs etc as you explained as I remember being able to delete pkgs some years ago when I first tried FreeBSD but forgot the routines,
As I found when I tried deleting from console recently a couple of times it complained about dependencies etc as I forgot there are options you can use with pkg_delete & others as you pointed out like "pkg_delete -xf".

The one thing I have started using more often now are the "man pages"
Thanks
