I want to completely remove open office from my system. What packages do I need to uninstall to remove it completely?
I am using Ubuntu 10.10.

Open a terminal, type in the following command and follow the on-screen instructions:
sudo aptitude purge openoffice.org
If you don't already have the aptitude package installed, you can do so by:
sudo apt-get install aptitude
The advantage of aptitude over apt-get is that it installs all needed dependencies automatically when installing a package, and it removes all obsolete dependencies automatically that aren't needed anymore.
Go to Synaptic Package Manager and choose the part installed packages to list out only installed packages
then,
Search on OpenOffice
Mark all OpenOffice packages that are found for complete removal by right-clicking on them.
Do the same thing searching OO3
Or Run
sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*

Nitpicking: first, choose the part
installed packagesor mark for removal, which is marked as installed. Jul 28, 2011 at 16:21
