Tool to remove unnecessary packages

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2602 / 1 Year ago, thu, december 15, 2022, 2:10:12

A couple of years ago I tried a nice utility application. It allows user to remove unnecessary packages one by one. During a removal process it gives a little description about every package and then asked if I wanted to remove that package.

Now I cant recall application name.

Can anybody identify this application based this description?

UPDATE: The application was command line application.

You can remove packages that were installed to satisfy other packages but are no longer needed by running sudo apt-get autoremove. There is also a program called Deborphan that sounds similar to what you are looking for. It looks for packages that aren't being used or depended on.
