While trying to install texstudio through terminal it says one file is already there and it can't overwrite that file. I tried to delete that texstudio folder from usr/share/texstudio but its all hopeless.

Preparing to unpack .../texstudio_2.12.14-0~201811301519~ubuntu18.04.1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking texstudio (2.12.14-0~201811301519~ubuntu18.04.1) ...

Method 1: Reconfigure Package Database The first method you can try is to reconfigure the package database. Probably the database got corrupted while installing a package. Reconfiguring often fixes the problem.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Method 2: Use force install If a package installation was interrupted previously, you may try to do a force install.

sudo apt-get install -f
