Leftovers from uninstalled plugins pollute rtp and there is no convenient way to delete them?

[Anrock]

In my .local/share/nvim/rocks/share/lua/5.1 there are folders from plugins which I don't have installed (they are not in rocks.toml).

For example nvim-web-devicons, which was pulled as a dependency for some other plugin I actually use or used before and then uninstalled.

I guess I kinda don't care about having unused stuff on my ssd however this folder is symlinked in rocks_rtp and as such can be required by other plugins and alter their behaviour.

Specific example I've encountered is feline and nvim-web-devicons: feline does pcall(require, 'nvim-web-devicons') to check if icons are available and adjusts theme accordingly.

Which was very unexpected for me and made me go dig around how plugin which I don't have installed still affects my config. And then I found the issue - folder with nvim-web-devicons wasn't deleted and thus still present in rtp.

Checking which packages are unused and cleaning them up manually is pretty inconvenient and error prone and I haven't found corresponding Rocks command. Help?

Hey 👋

We have an open issue for this: #77

Currently, the workaround is to run :Rocks sync repeatedly, until all unused dependencies have been pruned.
