Note: ‘counsel’ is spelled with an ‘s’, rather than a ‘c’.

1. C-h f package-autoremove
  => "Remove packages that are no longer needed."

2. C-h P <package-name> will display a description of a package
and will include an ‘Install’ or ‘Remove’ button that you
can use to install or remove a package.

3. M-x list-packages RET
   This will list the packages that are available and list
their status, including whether they are installed on your
computer.  It will also add a ‘Package’ menu item that you
can use to issue commands.

4. See also the chapter in the Emacs user manual on Emacs
Lisp packages: (info "(emacs) Packages")
