| − | The pkg_delete command can be used to uninstall either a package or a port from within Ports Jail. If you include the -x switch, you don't have to give the full name and version of the software. Be sure to give enough of a name so that you don't inadvertently uninstall other software matching the name:

| − | '''pkg_delete -x kopete'''

| − | | + | |
| − | If you just get the command prompt back, the delete was successful. You can verify this by checking that the package no longer exists in the package database:

| − | | + | |
| − | '''pkg_info | grep kopete'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You will just get your prompt back if no packages match that name.

| − | If the software has other applications that depend upon it, '''pkg_delete''' will refuse to uninstall it. If you wish to override this setting, you can use the '''-xf''' switch to force the delete. However, use the force switch with caution as removing dependent software can adversely affect the applications that required that dependency.
