Hello, I want information about uninstallation of packages. I know how to perform that kind of

pkg_delete "a_package" really delete ALL FILES installed with pkg_add command.
In short, yes.  This isn't windows :-)

The long answer is that each package provides information about what files it installs and thus what files to de-install. So the maintainer of the package/port has to get the list of files correct, but I've rarely seen any problems. So if you find that a package isn't deleting something you should ask here or contact the port maintainer.

However, if you create any local configuration files (say, for example, /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf, or user specific openoffice directories) they shouldn't be deleted.
