Remove an application
</title>
<p>An application is software that has a graphical user interface (GUI).
You can use <app>App Center</app> to remove applications that you
no longer use.</p>
<p>Applications are available in two formats: snap packages and Debian packages.
An application available as a snap package is from now on referred to as a <em>snap</em>.
Some applications are available in both formats. In such a case in
<app>App Center</app> the snap will be listed first.</p>
<p>You may also wish to remove software that does not have a GUI.
To remove such software, you can use
<link xref="addremove-install-synaptic">Synaptic</link>. Note that <app>Synaptic</app> does not list snaps.
</p>
<p>To remove an application:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>
Click the <app>App Center</app> icon in the <gui>Dock</gui>, or search
for <input>Software</input> in the <em>Activities</em> search bar.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
When <app>App Center</app> opens, click the <gui>Installed</gui> button at
the top.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Find the application that you want to remove by using the search box or
by looking through the list of installed applications.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Select the application and click <gui>Remove</gui>.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Confirm that you want to remove the application.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
You will be asked to authenticate by entering your password.
After you have done that, the application will be removed.
</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note>
<p>
Some applications depend on other applications to work properly. If you
try to remove an application that is needed by another application, both
will be removed. You will be asked to confirm whether you want this to
happen before the applications are removed.
