I don't think removing libre office is a good idea. There are probably other programs using parts of Libre office to work properly.r

One line at a time in terminal.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Should be ok to remove. Run

Code: Select all

apt purge --autoremove "libreoffice*"

But as always, do pay attention to the line where it says The following packages will be REMOVED: before you confirm to make sure there isn't anything that got caught up in it that you would want to keep.

Note that you'll likely have some left-over libraries that won't get removed by the above command, but it's not really worth the effort hunting them down.

PS: Hey @HaveaMint, I wonder why you snuck the clean in there, what do you think it does?

I did this once on Mint 18.3 and lost wallpapers and fonts...

This worked for me on Mint 17.3, no ill effects, when the repo lost current LibreOffice and I replaced it with a current PPA:

sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-core

Can't speak for M19.

I remove LibreOffice on all new installs (basically the same as HaveaMint's instructions), then install SoftMaker FreeOffice, which is much better.
No problems on any apps after uninstalling LibreOffice.
4 of my laptops have the SoftMaker FreeOffice version and 2 others have the retail SoftMaker OpenOffice version.

install SoftMaker FreeOffice,

Thanks for the tip on this one.

To remove ALL of libreoffice do this in order..
1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-core
2. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-common
3. sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice-core.
4. supt apt update
I have found that if you only choose to do 1 & 3 there are some traces still remaining. I did a search on google and found this step and it worked..No traces of libreoffice was left.

apt purge --autoremove libreoffice-common should do the same in one command.
