Thanks Leszek and Andre, Yes, I meant the Chromium browser.
If I enter: sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser I get: C: Command not found E: Could not get lock var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (var/lib/dpkg), is another process using it? I looked in Synaptic Package Manager and "Chromium-browser" is there, but unticked. Does this mean I downloaded using Firefox and not the Lubuntu Software Centre?
