p7zip has known vulnerabilities and no maintainer.
It's marked for deprecation at freebsd-ports.

Probably best to remove from the pkg list?

I did remove it from the mate pkg list and it is safe to remove it from your system. I did remove it I do not use it anyway.

Is there a 'purge' command equivalent in terminal to remove this?

Code: Select all

sudo pkg delete p7zip

You can use autoremove to remove dependencies, not in use but be careful it could remove some packages you still want. Before typing y review the packages that will that autoremove will remove.

Code: Select all

sudo pkg autoremove
