Is there any difference between this command:
apt-get purge firefox

and these 2 commands:

sudo apt-get remove firefox && sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get remove firefox just uninstalls Firefox.

sudo apt-get purge firefox also deletes configuration files.

sudo apt-get autoremove removes packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no longer needed.

  • If you already used `remove` but want to `purge`, follow [these instructions.](http://askubuntu.com/a/104131/451919). BTW, I probably don't know much more about all this than you do, I just searched my way to these answers. – Fiksdal Jul 05 '16 at 20:54
