From "man aptitude"
--purge-unused
Purge packages that are no longer required by any installed
package. This is equivalent to passing “-o Aptitude::Purge-Unused=true”
as a command-line argument.
English is not my first language and I understand the above that it
removes packages which are no more required. And this is what the OP
wants.
