When I search and translate that, it comes as “Available Packages”
I don’t think that means it is installed, but it sees it in the repos. Try

which yakuake
3

rpm -qa|grep yakuake

most likely it will return
plasma6-yakuake

I uninstalled mine a week ago and it returns nothing. I expect @Hanisch will get the same result.

If you use dnf list installed "*yakuake*" dnf will return the full package.arch name of yakuake that is installed, if it is not installed the command will return nothing.

From there you should be able to for example: sudo dnf remove plasma6-yakuake.x86_64 or in my case it would be sudo dnf remove plasma6-yakuake.znver1 using the full package name to remove yakuake.

Console log:

Hello,

$ sudo dnf remove plasma6-yakuake.x86_64

with this strangely name the “Yakuake”-package is successful removed.

Why is the name of “Yakuake” so different in any systems?

Great question!

The upgrade from Plasma 5 to plasma 6 is not complete. They are still updating packages too. Some of them still use parts of Plasma5 and some use parts of Plasma6 and they have to be flagged in some way.

Once all of that is complete, they will drop all the extra parts of the names that signify what they are.
