Ubuntu Uninstall deb Package

by

To uninstall a .deb package in Ubuntu, you can use the dpkg command. Here are the steps to uninstall a .deb package:

  1. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
sudo dpkg -r package_name

Replace package_name with the name of the package you want to uninstall. This command will remove the package from your system.

  1. If the package has any dependencies that are no longer needed, you can use the following command to remove them:
sudo apt autoremove

This will remove any packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer needed.

Note: If you encounter any errors during the uninstallation process, you can try using the --force-all option with the dpkg command to force the removal of the package, but this should only be done as a last resort as it can potentially cause issues with your system.
