how to remove a package install/build by makepkg

Question

Follow this link, I build Slack in Arch by makepkg -sri. Unfortunately, it won't start and I decided to remove it.

Issue: When I use pacman -Qm slack it returns error: package 'slack' was not found, and pacman -Rns slack surely won't work as well.

How can I remove the package and its dependencies?

PS

which slack cmd returns /usr/bin/slack

Did you build _and install_ it? Is it possible that you got `/usr/bin/slack` from a different install procedure? — Ángel, Sep 14 '20 at 22:22
that could be an reason, I tried to restart my system and some how the slack works and I use yay to reinstall it again now I am able to start it and find the package via pacman as well — SLN, Sep 14 '20 at 22:37

Try:

sudo pacman -R slack-electron

It worked for me.
