This question already has an answer here:
I recently installed SDL2 and want to purge all of it from my system.
I know there's a million different libraries scattered all over the system.
anyway I can just uninstall everything without searching everywhere and pulling all kinds of files.
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
you probably went on with terminal and typed something like:
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev
You can reverse the install of every install you make by editing the code:
sudo apt-get remove libsdl2-dev and purging it with --purge, then it looks like:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libsdl2-dev
Your terminal has a history, so every command you entered lately can be found by pressing the UP key, find what you installed and change the code to remove/purge it.
EDIT: Run the whole command in terminal to clean up.
echo "Cleaning Up" &&
sudo apt-get -f install &&
sudo apt-get autoremove &&
sudo apt-get -y autoclean &&
sudo apt-get -y clean
After that you can check the residual files in Synaptic Package Manager, referring you to this LINK
