How to remove KDE Connect dependecies in Cinnamon or any other DE?

I installed KDE Connect in Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity. Now I want to remove the app and all 60 MB of KDE dependencies. If I don't know those package names, how can I remove all the dependencies and not just the app KDE Connect?

Solution 1:

I understand that you are asking about "kdeconnect" removal process. First check whether you have KDE packages installed by typing:

dpkg -l | grep kdeconnect

if it shows something like this

ii  kdeconnect 0.8-0ubuntu5 
    amd64                   connect smartphones to your KDE Plasma Workspace  
ii  kdeconnect-plasma 0.9+git20160315-0ubuntu1 
    amd64                   connect smartphones to your KDE Plasma desktop

then you are good to go.

First kill the running KDE Connect processes:

killall kdeconnectd

Type the following command to uninstall KDE Connect:

sudo apt-get remove kdeconnect

This will just remove KDE Connect. For removing its dependencies type this:

sudo apt-get autoremove

That should remove all the dependencies needed for KDE and you will have no KDE Connect, no KDE indicator nor KDE monitor, which is present in the Unity launcher.

I hope that this helps. It worked for me.
