Inxi -Fazy says pipewire is running, but I cannot delete it as Add/Remove says it isnt installed?

From the documentation, if the packages can’t be removed, you may still at least disable the related services.

systemctl --user disable --now pipewire-pulse.service
systemctl --user disable --now pipewire-pulse.socket
