Removing Packages

Removing Packages:

Because the exact files and their locations contained in a package may change it is recommended to remove a package first before installing a new version. In order to facilitate removal each package contains an pgkinfo/MANIFEST.pkgname file which list all the files belonging to the package.

No need to panic, you don’t have to go through the pkinfo/MANIFEST.pkgname and manually delete the files. Instead, use M-x package-get-delete-package RET.

Note that the interactive package tools included with SXEmacs already do this for you.
