You could delete the packages with "emerge depclean", run with -p first. |

Since kde-meta is not installed, the KDE packages you have will not be |
| 14 |
dependencies of anything, so depclean will pick them up. |

However, removing your existing KDE packages is a bad idea, since the |
| 17 |
merge will have started with the basics, kdelibs, kdebase etc. You will |
| 18 |
only have to emerge these over again for any KDE emerge. |

I would install the basics with emerge kdebase-meta, then pick and choose |
| 21 |
any other packages you want. Run emerge -p deplean at the end to see if |
| 22 |
there are any leftover packages for your first install. |
