I am having trouble figuring out how to remove older version of texlive on my laptop. Following is the output of some of the terminal command that might help in answering this question:
/usr/bin/tex --version
outputsTeX 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2017/Debian) kpathsea version 6.2.3 Copyright 2017 D.E. Knuth.
/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux/tex --version
outputsTeX 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2018) kpathsea version 6.3.0 Copyright 2018 D.E. Knuth.
I want to remove Tex Live 2017. How can I do that?
sudo apt remove
if installed withsudo apt install
). If they were both installed that way; you specify a version; however how did you install them, esp. the later release. This will impact the method of removal for the older version.sudo apt autoremove texlive-base texlive-binaries
fixed the issue
