Uninstalling package installed with package installer


Hi
Installed 2 .deb packages that are causing issues with my ubuntu-mate install.

How do I remove these packages?

How did you install those packages? You would use the appropriate remove command with the package manager.

Code:
apt-get remove <package-name>
or,

Code:
dpkg -r <package-name>
