Code:

apt-get --purge remove appname

Does the trick very nicely

Cheers,

thanks. but you forgot the sudo in front of the command line.

But you already know that you must be root to add or remove applicatons, so I didn't feel the need to type it in. Plus, sudo isn't a part of the apt-get command.

I was giving you the command - a little bit of research after that helps drone it in
