How can I uninstall amazon app on ubuntu?
5,149
Solution 1
Try this:
sudo apt-get remove unity-webapps-common
Solution 2
Why this throws errors
sudo-apt-get remove amazon
The problem here is multiple
- its
sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME
notsudo-apt get PACKAGENAME
- You are guessing PACKAGENAMES (amazon) here
How to locate package names and remove them
I would recommend to check what packagename you need to remove first and then remove it.
You could filter all installed packagenames for the string amazon first like this
sudo dpkg -l | grep amazon
This should output all installed package-names containing the string amazon.
Then - if you know which packagename you want to remove do as follows
sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME
or
sudo apt remove PACKAGENAME
As @Saikat Kundu mentioned already - the packagename you are looking in this particular case is unity-webapps-common
.
Hope this helps understanding apt
