First, if you want to remove an installed package and its dependencies, you shouldn't need to know which dependencies were installed.
Dependencies are complicated. There are often dependencies of dependencies that link together to form a complex tree. If you go willy nilly deleting these dependencies by hand, you could seriously mess up your system.
pkg_info(1),
pkg_add(1), and
pkg_delete(1) were designed to make package management easy and reliable.
Before deleting any packages, the most important piece of information you need is which packages you installed manually.

it looks like keepassx is completely gone, but I'm puzzled by '.libs-partial-thunderbird-52.2.1p3' since you have thunderbird-52.2.1p3 installed.
I have never seen a message like this, so I tried a Web search using the terms
"pkg_delete" "libs-partial", typed exactly like that, with quotes. The only result was a
daemonforums thread on package_check errors from October 2015.
Of particular interest is
jggimi's response.
BTW, in case you were not aware, running commands as root (#
command) is a really bad practice for security reasons. Don't do it. Learn how to use
doas(1) and
doas.conf(5) to run commands which require root privileges.
