Hi :) Yejh, i think he was just missing the * off the end of the command-line instruction. It is easily missed but changes sooo much!!
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* is correct. When i clean and purge i tend to go a bit over-board and tend to do sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get remove Note that each time it's just an up-arrow to get the previous command back and then a few deletes with maybe a ctrl arrow-key to skip back to the start of the word. However i suspect i only need 2/4 as you have done or maybe not even that much.
