When I start "emacs" from the terminal Emacs version 28 is opening. I don't know from which package manager, I have installed Emacs.

which emacs shows: /usr/bin/emacs

I tried removing Emacs with apt-get and snap, but it did not work. How do I remove it?

  • If you don't know how you installed it, then it could be tricky to remove it. Please [edit] your question and describe what happens when you try to remove it with apt and snap. – Carl H Sep 15 '20 at 07:32
  • so, i need to remember the package manager i used for each software, right? – David Sep 15 '20 at 07:34
  • @Melebius, of course not, did you actually read my question? – David Sep 15 '20 at 07:44

    You remove software the opposite way of how it was installed. If it's a *snap* you'd expect it to show when you list *snaps* using `snap list` If it's a *deb* package you installed, you need the package name to remove it, so you could list packages `dpkg -l` If you have lots of packages you can of course reduce the number shown with `grep` etc ... These types of commands allow you to find the package/snap/etc name – guiverc Sep 15 '20 at 07:45

I solved the problem by sudo apt-get remove emacs-snapshot.
