I have Libre office installed on Ubuntu 14.04 and I would like to remove it but even though it say's it is uninstalled it still works, exists, and most importantly of all takes up my disk space. I have tried to uninstall it by command line but it says "not installed so not removing" and it does not appear in the Ubuntu software center so I cant remove it there either. I also tried uninstalling it by clicking the menu option in dash but that does not do anything either. I was wondering if any one knows how to remove Libre office? if at all possible that is.



this is the resault to guru's command:

I had to trim some as the post was to large besides it was just a bunch of is not installed, so not removed anyway.



Update



I don't know exactly what just happened but I tried to open Libre office again and I got a black screen with white writing that printed out a bunch of numbers and at the bottom it said "kernel panic - fatal exception" and I had to restart manually but after that Libre office seems to be gone so that's good I guess.

Edit: As @muru pointed out ncdu command is not present by default so you have to install it as follows:



sudo apt-get install ncdu


Run the following commands on your terminal



cd /
ncdu -x -q


Navigate to the directories where these packages are present and remove them manually. But be careful because you don't want to remove anything other than libre-office packages.
