Check this link out...It may help...I'm not as familiar with Alma Linux: https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html?highlight=autoremove#auto-remove-command

Hey @Nikhil-Kumar great question:
For RHEL-based systems such as AlmaLinux that you dnf you can use the following:

sudo dnf [options] autoremove package_name

Debian-based systems such as Ubuntu:

sudo apt purge package_name

Below is a screenshot of the man pages of the dnf and apt command for you to compare:
dnf autoremove

apt purge
