I tried to uninstall a emacs through terminal in Lubuntu 15 and Its still there.
I used the code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge emacs
This has happened before with a chess program called scid.
Basically, after I deleted emacs, it displays:
sudo apt-get remove --purge emacs

libotf0 m17n-db vim-runtime
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
emacs*
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 1 to remove and 195 not to upgrade.
After this operation, 25.6 kB disk space will be freed.

Then when I write
emacs <Enter>
emacs opens up again like nothings happened.
Subsequent removals show:
sudo apt-get remove --purge emacs

Package 'emacs' is not installed, so not removed

Is there a way to delete this program? I installed it through sudo apt-get install emacs, so Its not in my software center.
apt-get autoremove
to remove them.". Do you read the output of the terminal before posting it here? – Bakuriu Jun 11 '16 at 12:59
