To start <application>PackageKit</application> in the KDE environment, click <menuchoice><guimenu>KMenu</guimenu><guisubmenu>Applications</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>Software Management</guisubmenu></menuchoice>. This starts the <command>kpackagekit</command> application. The KDE <application>Software Management</application> browse section works similar to a file browser and contains descriptions of the applications. The application uses <guibutton>install</guibutton> and <guibutton>remove</guibutton> buttons and there is a <guibutton>Help</guibutton> icon in the bottom left corner if you need additional assistance.

+ <para>
+ To remove a software using KDE <application>Software Management</application>, you have to click on <guibutton>Remove</guibutton> button of selected software. <guibutton>Remove</guibutton> button is accessible, if software is installed, wherever you are in <application>Software Management</application> : search results, categories listing, etc. But there is an useful shortcut, called <guiicon>Installed Software</guiicon>, which lists you all installed softwares on your system.

+ <title>Software Installed Outside of PackageKit</title>
+ <para>
+ If the box is already unticked, then the program is probably not already installed. If you are sure that you have selected the right application, but it still appears to not be installed, then it may have been installed using a method other than <application>PackageKit</application>. If, for example, the program was compiled and installed from source, then it may not register as installed in <application>PackageKit</application>. If this is the case, you will need to find an alternate method of removing it. If it was installed from source, you may find more information in the source distribution's <filename>Readme</filename> file.
+ </para>
+ </note>
+
+ <para>As always, you can see selected actions by using <guibutton>Pending Changes</guibutton> button. Once, you selected all softwares you want to remove, click on <guiicon>Apply</guiicon>. Follow any prompts to remove additional packages, such as dependencies that only your newly uninstalled program relied upon.
