Autoremove command

[gitdrug]

Is there a command like "apt autoremove"
To delete unneeded dependinces and if not yall sould implement it

Nice suggestion!

For this Scoop will need to keep track of whether a package was installed manually or automatically (as a dependency).

@gitdrug autoremove is a bit too easy to make mistakes in though

For example, Package A depends on Package B

Just because you remove Package A does not mean you want to remove Package B in quite a few cases as well.

I think the best approach is to maybe show a list of dangling packages if we ever implement this and let the user choose to take action on their own with the Scoop suggestion being to either remove or to install to remove it from the autoremove list.

@gitdrug also we are trying to minimise the number of depends present in the code base because for obvious reasons users can choose to install dependencies on their own and not via Scoop.
