Re: [LINUX_Newbies] How can I clean a PC when I want do delete a program.

apt-get remove evolution?? will remove the program evolution.

if any other programs depend on it you will be notified.

If evolution is removed and there are any programs that no longer needed, apt-get autoremove will remove those.

You will also be notified if any directories were not removed because they were empty, giving you the opportunity to delete them yourself.

Good morning
Question:
How to delete a progamm in Linux.
Example:
sudo apt-get install evolution.
OK.
Then I destroyed something in evolution.
I did a backup and this destroyed the directories.
So I want to clean PC from evolution and then install again.
sudo apt-get remove evolution.
BUT
after install again evolution
there was the dirt from before.
I think
it is the same problem like windows.
Linux is creating many files like registry and I have to clean them also.
How can I clean a PC when I want do delete a program.

I did it with terminal
and also with gui.

Regards
Sophie
