 How to uninstall LibreOffice on Debian 11

Hi friends some tips about how to uninstall LibreOffice correctly on Debian 11.

I tried two methods because one worked in one PC the other not and vice versa. I hope can be useful for you.

Methods

1. Purge LibreOffice first using dpkg -i purge libreoffice. Does not work. Use second method

2. Use sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*. Note: this method does not work in Debian 11 bullseye: sudo apt-get remove –purge libreoffice*
