I have recently downloaded Adobe Reader for Linux from their website and run it using
dpkg -i .....
. I actually downloaded i386 version and my laptop is 64-bit. It then gave an error as:package management system damaged.
I searched on this website and fixed it using
sudo apt-get -f install
. Then the Adobe Reader got installed. But now I want to uninstall it.I tried running:
sudo apt-get remove adobereader-enu sudo apt-get autoremove adobereader-enu
But it was of no use.
I went to the home folder and removed .adobe folder (this was hidden). But still it didn’t get uninstalled.
I manually tried to remove the .config files of adobe, even then it was not uninstalled.
How can I get rid it?
(This topic is similar to other threads, but I tried the methods given in those threads, but I couldn’t uninstall the Reader).
Answer
- Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T).
-
Run the following commands:
sudo apt-get purge adobereader-enu sudo apt-get autoremove
