====== Ubuntu - apt - Remove a package ======

Remove/Delete an installed package except configuration files.

<code bash>
sudo apt remove [package name]
</code>

----

===== Example =====

<code bash>
sudo apt remove zip
</code>

----

<WRAP tip>
**Tip**: If you want to remove a package and install a different package in one step, try:

<code bash>
sudo apt remove htop vim+
</code>

Another way to do the same thing:

<code bash>
sudo apt install htop- vim
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  The **+** (add) and **-** (remove) suffix to package names can override and flip an install/remove switch.

  * It is a time and typing saving feature for the apt/apt-get.
