It will only remove packages, that are no longer useful for your system, e.g. when they were installed as dependency for a program you installed.

It is not going to remove programs (or their dependencies) you explicit installed.

Of course, it is just a program and isn't unfailing, so take a good look at the list before cleaning up.
