How should I uninstall/remove Adobe Flash Player in Ubuntu?

by

I’ve tried to remove Adobe Flash Player with the command line, but with no success. I disabled the two Flash Shockwave plugins in Firefox,
but I cannot remove it.

What should I do?

Thank you.

Answer

In case you installed it using Apt, run this to find the package name:

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep flash | awk '{ print $1 }'

Then you can uninstall the package by

sudo apt-get purge package-name

In case you copied the plugin so to Firefox plugins, simply delete it from there.
