Earlier i installed the KDE-Applications suite on my arch linux install with the intention of using a specific set of software, however it has installed far more packages tahn i had anticipated and has bloated my system, how can i safely remove the KDE-Applications group. when I attempt this with sudo pacman -Rs kde-applications it displays several errors which i am having trouble fixing. the errors are:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing signon-kwallet-extension breaks dependency ‘signon-kwallet-ex
tension’ required by kaccounts-integration
:: removing kio-extras breaks dependency ‘kio-extras’ required by plasma-
workspace

ssytem information:
KDE Version 6.1.3
KDE Framework Version 6.4.0
Qt Version 6.7.2
Kernel Version 6.6.44-2-lts (64-bit)
Graphics Platform Wayland

When uninstalling the software I still want to keep the regular KDE DE just without the software.

I had the exact same question. I figured it out.

Install Octopi Package Manager from yay or pacman.
When you open it, on the groups menu on the right, click kde-applications, then it will show you just those.
Ctrl+A, deselect the conflicting apps.
Right click, then uninstall.

I’d say two apps that I can’t remove is better than a 150 useless apps.
Cheers,
