To Remove Packages With pkgrm

Log in to the installed or updated system and become superuser:

# su

Remove one or more packages from the system:

# /usr/sbin/pkgrm pkgid

Where pkgid is the name of the software package you want to remove from the installed system. For example, SUNWrsync.

At each prompt, type y, n, or q to specify that you want to remove the package, not remove the package, or quit.

When you're done, use the pkgchk command to verify that the package was removed correctly:

# /usr/sbin/pkgchk -v pkgid

If the package was not removed correctly, pkgchk returns a warning message.
