    Deleting files

    Hey guys,

    I am running out of space on my linux machine. I mainly use it for development and it is not connected to the internet so I do not need firefox, thunderbird, openoffice, etc...

    I was wondering what it the best way to delete or uninstall programs like those? I hear apt-remove or something but I want to make sure.
    Also, is there anything else I could take out? man pages? etc??

    Thanks,
    Philips217

    Code:
    aptitude remove <package name>
    you can use 'purge' instead of 'remove' to uninstall package completely.
    check manual of aptitude for more details.
    Code:
    man aptitude
