    To remove everything related to KDE, first see what packages you have installed:
    # pacman -Qs kde

    Then remove what you want (example):
    # pacman -R kdegraphics kdebase kdeutils kdepim kdemultimedia kdeadmin kdenetwork kdeaccessibility kdeartwork

    To re-install Okular only:

    # pacman -S kdegraphics-okular

    Thanks a lot. The output doesn't list a lot of KDE stuff though:

    KMailService, KTelnetService,.. are not listet. In general I wonder if package removal is a 100% clean process ?

    Could you try the following?
    Code:
    apt remove --purge freeoffice freeoffice-* softmaker-*
    Remember to make sure the packages are actually called that.

    That depends. I did a quick search on ubuntu's packages and found nothing about freeoffice or softmaker. How did you install them?

    The process should be righ, though.

    Let's try another thing.

    First, open Synaptic. Next, click the Status button and select "Installed (local or obsolete)". Right click the package you want to remove and select "mark for removal", or better, "Mark for complete removal".
