I can not understand the removal of programs in Gentoo. For example, I want to remove KDE, but when I type emerge-C kde-meta, do not remove all of KDE. I want to remove everything related to KDE. Or, for example, I need to remove the netbeans. But I want remove all of netbeans. What do I do?[/url]

It's all in the portage documentation. See "META PACKAGES" section under "maintaining software".
