[ubuntu] Removing Deleting package

I have installed a package from the add/remove programs. Now suppose if i want to remove the program along with deleting all the packages that may have been installed in the /var/cache/apt/archives due to this program.

In other words i want to delete this program from my computer completely.

i always do (after uninstalling)

Code:

sudo apt-get clean

and

Code:

sudo apt-get autoremove

that's all you need.

Go to Synaptic packages manager at system -> preferences.

Then search for you program and mark it for complete removing.

sudo apt-get autoremove applicationname --purge

is what I usually use.

You could use synaptic and it's "completely remove package" option to do so, if you prefer an GUI instead of CLI.
