Time ago I have installed chromium web browser, but then I remove it. All the operations via apt-get.
When I clean the PC via BleachBit, I see also chromium and other program that I don't have anymore in my PC.
That's mean that somethings of these programs remain in the PC? How can I clean it completely?
Thank you

Re: Clean completely?
Code: Select all
apt purge packagename
Code: Select all
apt purge chromium
To get rid of obsolete dependencies of all packages:
Code: Select all
apt autoremove
Use autoremove command only on Stable, and only when you are absolutely sure you don't need those packages.

Re: Clean completely?
Hello. It is generally advisable to purge removed packages (purging a package will generally also purge its log files, so you might want to back them up first).
The following command displays a list of all removed packages that may have configuration files left on the system (if any):
The packages can be removed by using apt-get purge. Assuming you want to purge all of them in one go, you can use the following command:

$ dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }'

Re: Clean completely?
stuff in ~/.config and ~/.cache (and sometimes also ~/.local/share) still remains and has to be removed manually.

Re: Clean completely?
yes but please do NOT removed the complete .config and .local folders.
what i meant was manual research, e.g. the (uninstalled) chromium has a folder by that name in ~/.config etc.

Re: Clean completely?
there are a lot of reasons an install gets dirty, many of them beyond my pay grade.
dpkg
apt
apt-get
aptitude
synaptic
wajig
cupd - if available in the relaease being used
all do a near perfect job of cleaning umwanted cruft from a install (without breaking other installed packages).
Of course if you want to try to clean further -- (at your own risk) --- ) you can use other programs and personal methods to clean things up to better suit ones needs.

debian.org/Packages - list all files
beware when treading in the deep end.
