Did you use 'sudo' with the apt-get command to remove software? That's a prerequisite to remove software.

OP mentioned he is using the Software Center (USC). I assume he should have been prompted for a password?

apt-get would return:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
