I have done apt-get remove libboost-all-dev command. But, I can still see a directory /usr/include/boost. I want to remove everything related to Boost. How do I do this?

Ask the packaging system: dpkg -S /usr/include/boost – waltinator Mar 03 '22 at 01:03
@waltinator I have removed the directory, but I can still see some libraries of libboost when I do sudo apt-get purge libboost- and press tab. I would like to remove all of these libraries, how to do it? – A J Mar 03 '22 at 05:44
Upon further inspection, I found that some of the file are in the directory /usr/share/lintian/overrides and also in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Should I remove it or not? – A J Mar 03 '22 at 06:08
