Removing flatpak orphans?

WetGeek

Does anyone here know of a way to remove orphans that were installed by flatpak? I'm looking for something like the eopkg rmo command. Here's why ...

I installed the mullvad browser from flathub, but after a brief examination I decided that it was not for me. So I decided to remove it. So far that worked as expected, but when I installed the browser, it had also installed a number of dependencies that I'd like to get rid of as well, because I have no other use for them.

I tried using a wildcard (*) after a partial name, but flatpak just gave me an error saying that a name section can't begin with a *. And removing orphan or orphans doesn't work either. Is there another way?

WetGeek flatpak update -y && flatpak remove --unused -y

I stole this command from you couple years ago 🙂

Try this:

flatpak uninstall --unused

You can run flatpak uninstall --unused to remove unnecessary dependencies.

You didn't steal it ... I gave it to you. It's the last step in my UP macro for doing weekly updates. It's been so long since I've used flatpak for anything, I'd forgotten all about it. I already HAD what I was looking for, and use it all the time. Thanks for reminding me. 😄
