apt-get:tldr:905ca
apt-get: Remove a package.
$ apt-get remove ${package}
try on your machine
The command apt-get remove ${package}
is used for uninstalling or removing a specific package from a Linux system's package management system, particularly those using Advanced Package Tool (APT), like Debian and Ubuntu.
Let's break down the command:
apt-get
is the command-line package management tool in APT-based systems. It allows users to install, upgrade, or remove software packages.remove
is an argument given toapt-get
to specify that we want to remove/uninstall a package.${package}
is a placeholder representing the name of the package you want to remove. It should be replaced with the actual name of the package you wish to uninstall.
By running this command with the specific package name in place of ${package}
, the system will remove that package along with any dependencies it may have, freeing up disk space and maintaining a tidier package management system.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
