On 16.10:

sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-system-settings
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

This also removed a bunch of dependencies that unity8-desktop-session kept on my system.

  1. First try this command sudo apt-get remove system-settings.
  2. If working Ok and ignore following steps.
  3. If not working appending this message E: Unable to locate package system-settings.
  4. Search for system-settings using this command whereis system-settings.
  5. On my laptop was /usr/bin/system-settings.
  6. Remove this file sudo rm '/usr/bin/system-settings'.
  7. Also remove the .desktop file go to usr/share/applications drag and drop desktop file into terminal and remove with permission.
  8. On my laptop sudo rm '/usr/share/applications/ubuntu-system-settings.desktop'.
