Autoremove Command
Synopsis
dnf5 autoremove
Description
The autoremove command in DNF5 is used for removing unneeded packages from the system.
Unneeded packages are all "leaf" packages that were originally installed as dependencies of user-installed packages, but which are no longer required by any such package.
Installonly packages (e.g. kernels) are never automatically removed by this command even if they were installed as dependencies.
Options
- --offline
Store the transaction to be performed offline. See offline command, dnf5-offline(8).
- --store=PATH
Store the current transaction in a directory at the specified PATH instead of running it. The stored transaction can be performed by the replay command, dnf5-replay(8). Note that repository ids in the stored transaction are mangled to @stored_transaction(repo_id) this is required because during replaying the stored repositories are recreated and they might collide with already present repositories (this doesn't apply to the special @System repository).
