I have followed endless amount of guides in order to make primus work with steam in ubuntu 14.04 and yet nothing works. I would like to completely purge everything that is associated with nvidia, bumblebee, nvidia x server, primus, prime indicator and so on. Can I do so?

    It also depends on how you installed these things.

  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix This comment is from 2014 , but no the accepted answer will not work if one has manually installed the nvidia driver, it only works if it was installed with apt / apt-get. And what is <any other packages>* ?? . At any rate the answer worked for asdasda

Regular expressions can help you here.

sudo apt-get purge nvidia* bumblebee*  <any other packages>*

You could also open synaptic package manager, search for primus and mark it for complete removal.
