Removing Transmission Bit torrent client

Question

Simply want to remove this client, don't really like it. Can't figure out what packages it's installed as, tried both transmission and transmission-daemon, the first not being anything and the second states it's not installed.

Running ubuntu 13.04, all updated.

Just don't like having programs I don't use/want to use deluge.

Solution 1

The package name is transmission-gtk, so:

sudo apt-get purge transmission-gtk

Solution 2

Try this. It should work.

sudo apt-get purge transmission-cli transmission-common transmission-daemon

Solution 3

To remove everything to do with transmission, use:

sudo apt-get purge transmission*

This will remove every package with the word transmission followed by any number of letters.

Solution 4

Press Ctrl+Alt+T and then type in :

sudo apt-get remove transmission-gtk

This will remove the transmission bittorent client. After this process has completed, you type in the open terminal "

sudo apt-get autoremove

This command will remove all the dependencies associated with the app you would've just removed, as well as some other unwanted dependencies and files related to uninstalled app. This will keep your system clean and running smoothly and avoid resource wastage.

Solution 5

In the Dash, search for Transmission as you normally would to launch it. Right-click and you'll see a screen about Transmission; one of the buttons on that screen is Uninstall. This works for any app you would like to remove.

Why would this answer be better than the current existing one?

Frankly this work, but still not remove the web page version.

In newer versions (at least definitely in 16.04) it is no longer the case.
