=09Which is easier depends on

=09a) how many total ports
=09b) how many you want to remove
=09c) whether you know exactly which ones need to go

=09If if youy don't know the answer to (c), then it's probably
easiest to scrub everything and start over.
=09If you do, and (b) is a large number, ditto.
=09Otherwise: make a list, go to /var/db/pkg, and run
pkg_deinstall on each port.

=09One man's opinion,
