I am looking for a way to uninstall Atom on Ubuntu 17.10. Is there any script for it? I want to completely uninstall Atom from my machine.

To completely remove a package:

sudo apt purge <package_name>

In your case:

sudo apt purge atom

But if Atom was installed from snap? You have to remove it by snap. From the command line run this:

snap remove atom

It's easy! If you have installed using snap, then run:

sudo snap remove atom

Else, using apt-get:

sudo apt-get remove atom

After this remove the dependencies using:

sudo apt-get autoremove

Done!
