Remove an application
|
|
</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>An application is software that has a graphical user interface (GUI).
|
|
You can use <app>Ubuntu Software</app> to remove applications that you
|
|
no longer use.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Applications are available in two formats: snap packages and Debian packages.
|
|
An application available as a snap package is from now on referred to as a <em>snap</em>.
|
|
Some applications are available in both formats. In such a case in
|
|
<app>Ubuntu Software</app> the snap will be listed first.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You may also wish to remove software that does not have a GUI.
|
|
To remove such software, you can use
|
|
<link xref="addremove-install-synaptic">Synaptic</link>. Note that <app>Synaptic</app> does not list snaps.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To remove an application:</p>
|
|
|
|
<steps>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click the <app>Ubuntu Software</app> icon in the <gui>Dock</gui>, or search
|
|
for <input>Software</input> in the <em>Activities</em> search bar.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When <app>Ubuntu Software</app> opens, click the <gui>Installed</gui> button at
|
|
the top.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Find the application that you want to remove by using the search box or
|
|
by looking through the list of installed applications.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Select the application and click <gui>Remove</gui>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Confirm that you want to remove the application.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You will be asked to authenticate by entering your password.
|
|
After you have done that, the application will be removed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
|
|
</steps>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some applications depend on other applications to work properly. If you
|
|
try to remove an application that is needed by another application, both
|
|
will be removed. You will be asked to confirm whether you want this to
|
|
happen before the applications are removed.
