How can I uninstall this programs in Ubuntu 16.04? Permanently from being installed by updates.
1 Answer
I solved by uninstalling Tracker-Extract:
sudo apt purge tracker-extract
This purges tracker-extract* tracker-miner-fs*
and deletes data.

8probably not a good idea as it also kills your machine ... here is what I see when running your command
The following packages will be REMOVED: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons* nautilus* nautilus-share* tracker-extract* tracker-miner-fs* ubuntu-desktop* ubuntu-desktop-minimal*

@ScottStensland For me this CPU hog was removable without removing entire @-desktop, though I am on Lubuntu. Feb 5 at 14:25
