From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

the info line contains the answer:
Info: applications using this runtime: io.github.Hexchat
You need to remove Hexchat if you want to remove the end-of-life runtimes it requires.
I regret to inform you that the maintainer wrote in February 2024: This will be the last release I make of HexChat. The project has largely been unmaintained for years now and nobody else stepped up to do that work.
My computer uses both system and user remotes.
Because my .var directory is almost full, [...]
If you're low on disk space you probably want to have everything installed as either user or system, to avoid having some runtimes installed in both.
anything I've ever removed with ( flatpak remove --unused ) has not re-appeared again. Not that I've noticed anyway.
Wait is hexchat really dead? Didn't it replace xchat? So what's the go to irc client now?
Yes, the repository has been archived. https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat
What's the gui-based irc client people are using now instead?
Personally I still use Hexchat since it is still supported by my distribution for several years. It won't receive new features but security fixes only which I'm fine with.
not related to the problem, but if space is an issue convert your file system to btrfs. you get on-the-fly compression and (more important) deduping, so two same files occupy space only once.
