Ubuntu
pandas package

Remove recently downloaded packages via 'sudo apt install'

Asked by Stijn

Hi,

I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and I am using the windows subsystem for Linux.

I downloaded pandas package with 'sudo apt install pandas'. It turned out that the packages could not be imported by Python. When I runned python3 in Ubuntu and then used the command pandas, Ubuntu said the package was not found. So I had to try it another way.

Then I downloaded the package again with 'pip3 install pandas' and this worked.

Now how can I remove my package downloaded via 'sudo apt install pandas' (which is a unnecessary package)?

It has downloaded a lot of files alongside pandas itself. It would be ideal if I could delete all the downloaded packaged that I downloaded today via sudo apt install <package>. How would I be able to do that?

Kind regards,
Stijn

The following information is achieved by the command 'grep install /var/log/dpkg.log'. Apparently, these are the files that have been downloaded by the command 'sudo apt install pandas'. I would like to delete these.

Try : sudo apt autoremove to narrow down your list.

I've appended the list, and then deleted all files by sudo apt-get remove <appended-list of package names>. After that I ran sudo apt autoremove. It's solved now. Thanks for your help. Could you provide me of any information where the packages are actually stored when I use sudo apt install <packagename>, do they add to my memory?
