NAME
       apk del - remove constraints from world and commit changes

SYNOPSIS
       apk del [<options>...] constraints...

DESCRIPTION
       apk del removes constraints from world (see apk-world(5)) and commits
       changes to disk. This usually involves removing unneeded packages, but
       may also cause other changes to the installed packages.

OPTIONS
       apk del supports the commit options described in apk(8), as well as the
       following options:

       --rdepends, -r
           Recursively delete all top-level reverse dependencies, too.
