I have some libraries namely related to libboost. I would like to remove it completely. But, even after doing apt-get purge, some files are still present in directories /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, /usr/share/lintian/overrides/ and /usr/share/doc/. Should I remove them, if so is there any procedure about how to remove these files?
I have the following files:

Edit: This is not the same question as this. In this question I am asking whether I can safely remove files/shared libs from /usr/share/lintian/overrides/ and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. If so, how?
Clarification: sudo apt-get purge libboost-date-time1.58.0 will also remove files like libreoffice-calc*, libreoffice-core*, libreoffice-draw*, libreoffice-gnome*, libreoffice-gtk*, libreoffice-help-en-us*, libreoffice-impress*, libreoffice-math* and some more files which seem important!
