I run Ubuntu 12.04 and after I removed XFCE4, the file browser did not go away. I tried sudo apt-get remove thundar
with no success... Someone help me find the name of this package so I can remove it off my machine.

The package name is thunar
, not thundar
. Try with sudo apt-get remove thunar
.

np. If you don't remember the exact package name, you might use tab completion (just press
tab
after the first letter, or second etc.), it should show a list of commands starting with those letters. If the binary you want to get rid of does not match package name, try one of the methods described in http://askubuntu.com/questions/336651/search-command-for-packages-in-ubuntu-terminal-to-search-updates-and-patches-of/336663#336663 If this answer solved your problem, please make it accepted by clicking the 'tick' below the vote count ;) – moon.musick Aug 25 '13 at 07:49
