Uninstalling programs/packages

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 539 / 2 Years ago, sat, january 22, 2022, 10:33:01

I recently installed tools for android development (eclipse ADT ...) and I installed incorrectly and would like to restart from the beginning. I installed a few packages out of order and I am having trouble getting the tools configured. How do I remove everything I just installed, so that I may start all over?

How do I know that all the files are removed?

you can remove any package with many possible ways in Ubuntu.

1.Software centre -> In the installed application list you can find all what you have installed and you can remove them from there it self.

2.Synaptic Package Manager -> Here also in the search field you can type the application.

3.Aptitude -> This is a CLI tool.

4.apt-get -> Here by using the following command in terminal you can remove any application/Package

sudo apt-get remove <Application_name>

one more thing to remove any application completely along with its configurations files you can do the following command

sudo apt-get remove --purge <Application_name>

Hope that going to help you a bit.
