How to uninstall teamviewer deb v10.0.036281 from ubuntu 14.04

Question

I installed teamviewer deb v10.0.036281 which is a 32bit?64bit Multi architecture one, it didn't worked well, so I tried to uninstall by using sudo apt-get remove teamv but got this reply

E: Unable to locate package teamv

am having Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit one

Solution 1

First, use the command

dpkg -l | grep team

The full package name should show up in the output on the list of installed applications. Find it and use the name listed. I believe it should look like this:

sudo apt purge teamviewer

or, if you want to use a wild card, you can use something like this instead:

sudo apt remove "teamview*"

However, be careful when using a wildcard so you don't unintentionally uninstall something you want to keep. Always review the list of packages to be removed before selecting Y.

Solution 2

If you downloaded the .deb elsewhere (didn't install through apt-get) then you need to

sudo dpkg -r teamviewer 

Solution 3

The command below showed the full package name as teamviewer-host:

dpkg -l | grep team

I was able to remove it finally using:

sudo apt-get remove teamviewer-host

Solution 4

To remove Teamviewer, run

sudo apt-get remove teamviewer

Solution 5

Run:

sudo aptitude remove teamviewer

If not installed aptitude, run:

sudo apt-get install aptitude

Use only aptitude, he is best installer deb pkg.

if it's a deb, it should be uninstallable through apt-get once it is installed regardless of how installation took place

For xhubuntu this solution works fine
