How to Remove all Android -Tools (ADB and fastboot) plus SDK from Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit)

Hi,
you can remove Ubuntu-SDK without re-installing Ubuntu. Once it is removed, you can also remove all library files associated with it.

    Run following commands in series:
     $ sudo apt-get autoremove android-sdk android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
    $ sudo apt-get --purge remove android-sdk
    $ sudo apt-get autoclean
    $ sudo apt-get autoremove

    Above commands will remove android-SDK from your system. If you get any error after any command, just edit your question and paste the result.

So, I gave:

sudo apt-get autoremove android-sdk android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Output was:

$: "Package android-sdk not found"

I do not know what's in the script android_sdk_installer.sh or what exactly it intsalled.

Cheers

Correction:

E: Package android-sdk not found

So, here is the text file of the shell script android_sdk_installer:

Need help removing all packages associated with this script that are not needed by other packages.

Cheers.

@m-hampl What of the unresolved dependencies?

Thanks

Ok, on of the program packages was not removed (due to dependencies), but that should not matter.

What is now the output of

As you can see there is 3.2 GB space free again on your root file system. I hope that is enough for you. IF not, you have to dig into the system to identify some more files that you can delete.

The only unexpected thing that I see, is that lxpanel and pcmanfm are not automatically updated.

What is the output of the terminal command

apt-cache policy lxpanel pcmanfm

Gave
apt-cache policy lxpanel pcmanfm

output:

I see that you have the official version installed, and there is an updated version available from a PPA.

If you want to update to the PPA version, you could try the command

sudo apt-get install lxpanel pcmanfm

I am not sure if that really works, there might be dependency problems with the PPA packages.

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.
