Description

Pacman transactions can be followed by a check for packages marked as unrequired or orphaned. It is useful for users who want reminders about removable dependencies after installs, upgrades, or removals.

Orphan lists are suggestions, not removal orders. Review why each package is installed before deleting it, especially libraries used by manually built software.
