Removed LibreOffice using Synaptic but icons persist in Menu... - m654321 - 11-12-2016

On my 10" Samsung netbook (see setup2 in sig below) I've found that LL3.2 runs less snappily in general than LL2.8 which I was using previously, e.g. boot-up time = 52 seconds, LL3.2; 36 seconds, LL2.8.

In an effort to speed things up I've been deleting software that I don't need or replacing it with lighter stuff (using Synaptic). For example, I've replaced LibreOffice with Gnumeric & Abiword and replaced Firefox with Slimjet, etc. However, the icons for LibreOffice under 'Office' in Menu still persist - how do I get rid of these?

Thanks for your help
Mike

maybe

Code:
sudo apt-get autoremove libreoffice

will help or

Code:
sudo apt-get purge libreoffice

Removing packages with sudo apt-get purge ... or sudo apt-get --purge remove ... will remove them and all their global (i.e., systemwide) configuration files.

I usually follow the steps posted above by darknetmatrix. I am just showing a little sumthin sumthin is all as a alternative.

Many thanks Bayou, Roky & Darknet... I have tried everthing all three of you mentioned - not trace of libreoffice on the PC, but the icons still stubbornly refuse to go - oh well, I can live with those 'icon-ghosts' - just a little bit irritating though

Cheers

Mike,

I had the same issue. My solution was to install libreoffice again using synaptic. Then go to the main menu and untick the libreoffie items in the office section. Then uninstall libreoffice.

I think there must be a better solution but it worked for me.

Greetings,
Ton.
