I get Package 'libreoffice' is not installed, so not removed

I tried I think every thing it does not work

 

[Ted W]

Since it is based on Ubuntu open a Terminal and issue the following command

sudo apt purge libreoffice

does not work

 

[arochester]

On my computer libreoffice is a metapackage and that instruction will remove everything. Try this instead

sudo apt purge libreoffice*

 

[Ted W]

I get this
"
sudo apt purge libreoffice*
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libreoffice*
"

So, is it there or not? Can you start it from your Menu?

 

[Ted W]

it is there and everything works. I tried it all for about 2 weeks and everything works

Do you have Synaptic?

 

[Ted W]

I just need room on this hard drive. and I really don't need or use the libreoffice

 

[Ted W]

yes i have Synaptic

 

[arochester]

Open Synaptic and Search for libreoffice. How are the squares coloured?

 

[Ted W]

I am good with the terminal and have been using it for over 2 years. synaptic I have really not used before

 

[Ted W]

they seem to be mostly light grey in color. and a few dark grey or black

 

[Ted W]

some of them after the square has a red like backwards C

 

[arochester]

On my computer installed programs appear green.

RIGHT click on each of the LibreOffice entries and where possible choose "Mark for complete removal".

 

[Ted W]

by the way thank you for helping me

 

[Ted W]

yes I saw that and I guess I'll try that I hope that does it without destroying everything else

 

[arochester]

When you have marked them click on "Apply".
