uninstall - apt purge/remove is not freeing up all of the space that it should - Ask Ubuntu


i installed cinnamon desktop apt , said 85mb. when use sudo apt remove cinnamon or sudo apt purge cinnamon, amount of disk space says freeing 1164kb, 1mb. why there such discrepancy? there wasted space on computer.

this because desktop environments cinnamon tend compilation of lot of different programs, file managers, terminal emulators, web browsers, etc.

after use sudo apt-get remove cinnamon need use

sudo apt-get autoremove 

to remove packages no longer needed.
