Cairo Dock still visible in Dash, after removal using Software Center

Question

How can I remove the Cairo Dock Icons in Dash even though I removed the app using Software Center? I removed Wireshark using the same method and Wireshark doesn't show up in Dash. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You have not removed the whole package yet. Its data is still in your computer. Remove all by running in the terminal:

   sudo apt-get-purge cairo-dock-core

Answer 2

Remove all of the components with this command in Terminal:

sudo apt-get purge cairo-dock cairo-dock-core cairo-dock-data libgldi-dev libgldi3

You can also use Synaptic Package Manager

sudo apt-get install synaptic -y
sudo synaptic
to see the different components you have installed, just search for
cairo
or
cairo-dock
