This post is dedicated to Ubuntu users who want to remove package in a clean manner.

Assuming I want to remove Evolution Mail from Ubuntu, I will first open up my terminal and do the following:

Removing Evolution Mail Package

sudo apt-get purge evolution

Clean up any partial packages

sudo apt-get autoclean

Clean up the apt cache

sudo apt-get clean

Clean up any unneeded dependencies

sudo apt-get autoremove

Rest assured that the above methods does not clean up dependencies that other packages are relying on. This also assures that you will not accidentally remove up core Linux packages like what I have did here.
