Users who have switched from Windows operating system to Linux Ubuntu will probably immediately notice the difference in the installation process and uninstall programs. It is because of this that many users are returning to the more familiar Windows. But in fact, there is nothing complicated in this procedure.
Necessary
a computer with Linux Ubuntu OS
Instructions
Step 1
One of the easiest ways to get rid of a program is to uninstall it using the "terminal". To do this, open the Application menu. To do this, click on it with the left mouse button. A list of sub-items appears. In this list, select "Standard", then - "Terminal".
Step 2
Next, in the "terminal" command line, enter Sudo apt-get remove. After the word remove, you must enter the name of the program that you want to remove. For example, you need to uninstall the Midori internet browser. Accordingly, enter the Sudo apt-get remove Midori command at the terminal prompt. After that, enter the user password. The uninstallation process will begin.
Step 3
Another way to uninstall the program is to use the Synaptic tool. Select "System". Then go to "Administration" and select "Synaptic Package Manager". This will open the main menu of the application. In it, select "All". A list of all installed programs will appear. If necessary, you can also select a list of installed applications depending on the category ("Text Editors", "Games", etc.).
Step 4
Find the program to uninstall. After that, right-click on it and select "Cancel to delete" in the context menu. Another dialog box will appear. In this window, click on the "Apply" button. This program is now marked for removal. Next, in the main Synaptic menu, also click "Apply". The app will be removed.
Step 5
If necessary, you can configure the settings for uninstalling programs. To do this, select "Settings" in the Synaptic menu, then "Options" and "Files". A window will open in which you will have the opportunity, for example, to configure the storage parameters of the program distribution kit or clear the cache after it has been uninstalled.
