Description

When I use the "-- remove" argument it does not remove all the packages that were installed. It would be good if "umake -r" also removes the redundant packages that it installed.

Research direction
Investigate the code responsible for handling the ' remove' flag, likely in the umake CLI implementation. Look for logic that tracks packages installed by umake and compare it with what is actually removed. The issue suggests that some dependencies are left behind. Check the installation and removal procedures, possibly in a file like 'umake/ init .py' or similar, and identify where the missing removals occur.
