Which package should I remove to completely remove libreoffice? I have no need for office tools.

That's the one gripe I have with package managers like apt, there's no simple way to perform the essential task of removing unwanted software :S

Type the following in terminal to remove libreoffice:

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoremove

Note that some terminals (e.g. zsh) will require the wildcard to be escaped:

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
