I want to update my TeX Live 2009 to 2012. I want a fresh install and would like to remove TeX Live 2009 on my ubuntu. How should I remove TeX Live using my terminal?

To remove Tex Live, type the following in a console:
sudo apt-get remove texlive

It gives me "Package texlive is not installed, so not removed". But I am still able to compile my tex files using pdflatex command?– user27323Oct 2, 2012 at 23:19

Ok. I did sudo apt-get remove texlive-* and not pdflatex doesn't work. Thanks– user27323Oct 2, 2012 at 23:36
For me, LnxSlck's solution seemed somehow insufficient. I then did a apt-get purge texlive-base
(though not sure if I should have) and then apt-get autoclean
and then I was totally texlive free.
