Uninstall gmusic browser

Question

I would like to uninstall gmusic browser from my xubuntu installation. I find it does not meet my playback requirements. How do I go about this?

Answer 1

To remove gmusic browser.

Open terminal and run sudo apt-get remove --purge gmusicbrowser

Answer 2

Just open a terminal and type this command:

 sudo apt-get autoremove gmusicbrowser

You can also use --purge option after apt-get to also remove the configuration files of gmusicbrowser.
This will remove package gmusicbrowser, it's dependencies and most probably xubuntu-desktop package. But, don't worry if you see xubuntu-desktop in the list of removable packages because that package is just a metapackage and removing it does not effect anything in your Xubuntu.

I have executed the command apt-cache depends xubuntu-desktop | grep gmusicbrowser and it shows this line

Recommends: gmusicbrowser

saying, it is only a recommended package, which is not same as Dependency package.
