View Full Version : [ubuntu] Can't remove some software!

After adding a source, I used Terminal to install some software:


sudo apt-get install skulltag
sudo apt-get install doomseeker-skulltag

Things were perfect. I wanted to remove the software so I can create a tutorial of how to install it, so I did the following:


sudo apt-get remove skulltag
sudo apt-get remove doomseeker-skulltag

It told me it was done, uninstalled, etc., yet they're still in my applications menu and are semi-functional (they appear to be broken).

How do I completely remove them? It seems I can't re-install until they're completely gone.

Sorry to register without contributing, by the way. Thanks in advance.

Try this:
sudo apt-get --purge remove skulltag
sudo apt-get --purge remove doomseeker-skulltag
Then, sudo apt-get autoremove

Will restart now. Thanks. I'll post results after.
