I'm that kind of user who likes to have different browsers, media players, etc. Today I just wanted to try out Opera and Google Chrome, but I don't want to use them anymore so I thought that I remove them. The problem is I can't find them in Ubuntu Software Center or when I use 'remove opera' in terminal it doesn't work. Can you tell me how to remove them properly?

Open a Terminal and put in:

sudo apt-get remove opera-stable

to remove opera and

 sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable

to remove chrome

In Software Center go to Installed and from right side of the Installed click on the down arrow button and select Unknown - You will see Opera and Chrome there.

Are you sure that you have installed these two pieces of software successfully?

Try this:

dpkg -s opera-stable google-chrome-stable

If you see dpkg-query: package 'nlll' is not installed and no information is available that means you didn't install that.

Also, if you install that, you will see lots of files.

Use purge to delete the configurations as well

example:

sudo apt-get purge opera-stable

After a long searching process, I used sudo snap remove opera-beta command and it is working. I forget that i installed opera-beta from snap.
