A package can be uninstalled via the PPM Puppy Package Manager, (this doubles up as a way to see what is installed):

In Lucid Puppy 5.2x - A list of installed packages is shown in the main window, un-install packages by selecting one from this list.

In Slacko Puppy 5.3x - Click on the 'uninstall' button. A list of installed packages is shown, un-install packages by selecting one from this list.

PETs may not uninstall cleanly. If unsure make a backup of your SaveFile Pup Save File beforehand (frugal).

SFS packages are unloaded via the BootManager or SFSLoad. As SFS files are read-only and less likely to uninstall uncleanly.

PETs - software packages

SFS - sfs format packages
