Let's take removing Samba as an example:
1. pkg_info | grep -i samba
2. wait for a long time.
3. pkg_delete samba-2.0.6
Using pkg_remove,
1. pkg_remove -n samba
2. wait for a short period of time to see what might be deleted,
e.g. dependencies.
3. if you decide to go ahead with the removal: pkg_remove samba
