Uninstall KDE and LXDE [solved]

Post by msm »

I use Mint 8 Main Gnome as my main version but installed KDE and LXDE via the Terminal so that I can choose from the versions in Session Manager. But I never use KDE or LXDE so how can I uninstall the two?

Thanks.

There are several terminal commands you can use.

sudo apt-get remove filename

sudo apt-get purge filename

and "sudo apt-get clean" or "sudo apt-get autoclean" to clear the cache memory.

For more detailed information, enter "man apt-get" in the terminal and read the man pages.
