How to Remove Bluetooth Manager in Xubuntu

Question

I wanna remove bluetooth manager and its daemon from Xubuntu because my computer doesn't have bluetooth device. How should I do?

Note : I've searched questions https://askubuntu.com/search?q=Remove+Bluetooth but I find nothing. Wish I don't create duplicate question

Solution

The following shell command will remove bluetooth and all its dependencies:

sudo apt-get purge "bluez*"

If this prompts you to remove the xubuntu-desktop meta-package, do not be alarmed. This is acceptable.

If installed, also remove the obex-data-server and the libopenobex package. The libbluetooth* package(s) must remain since too many stuff depends on it.

Afterwards, you should also run:

sudo apt-get autoremove

Thank you. It tries to remove gnome-user-share. Please your suggestion.

I'd suggest: let it remove it. There may be better sharing tools around that do not depend on bluetooth.

What is it? Could you give me choises?

The following packages will be REMOVED: blueman* bluez*... ubuntu-mate-core* ubuntu-mate-desktop* – Ubuntu mate core?!? – does not sound like a good idea to me!
