Remove xfce

[JWJones]

I decided to remove the crutches and stick with base (cwm).

Unfortunately, I had already installed xfce:

doas pkg_add xfce xfce-extras

However:

doas pkg_delete xfce xfce-extras

Does not get rid of xfce!

Hmm...

pkg_info -Q xfce

Reveals:

xfce-4.12p10
xfce-extras-4.12p1

etc.

But then:

pkg_delete xfce-4.12p10 xfce-extras-4.12p1

Gets me:

Problem finding xfce-4.12p10
Problem finding xfce-4.12p1

What gives? How do I get rid of xfce?

You're misunderstanding pkg_info(1) -Q, or misunderstanding $PKG_PATH:

     -Q query
             Show all packages in $PKG_PATH which match the given query.

Instead, try $ pkg_info | grep xfce. You'll get the empty set. And, now that you've uninstalled the manually added xfce, you can also remove all unneeded dependencies with # pkg_delete -a.

Ah yes, okay, I get it. And yes, that did it. Thanks!
