14.04 - uninstallation didn't work


I recently installed "Battle for Wesnoth" and the "BfW map editor" from software center.
I uninstalled it with Software Center and now the game is shown as uninstalled there.


However, I can still start and play the game, "re-uninstalling" doesn't seem to be possible.
Can anyone please help me uninstalling the game and the map editor? They need quite a lot of space on my harddrive and I'm getting annoying update notifications all the time.


I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.



Open a terminal and run:


sudo apt-get remove --purge wesnoth-*

If you want exactly to see packages containing wesnoth that you've installed then run:


dpkg -l | grep -i wesnoth

Then you can purge those packages by one manually with apt-get remove --purge command.


You can also manually search for config(cache) folder of the game in your Home Directory just open your Home Directory and press Ctrl+H and type in search bar wesnoth and delete what's related to game.
