I ran this command:
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 sni-qt:i386
But now I want to remove what I've just installed.
What's the command?

The easiest way would be to edit your command to enter
sudo apt-get remove gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 sni-qt:i386
Open your terminal window, press up-arrow repeatedly until you see your install command, press left-arrow until the cursor gets to 'install', backspace it out and type 'remove'.

If this is your previous command ,
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 sni-qt:i386
Then run only,
^install^remove
It replaces install with remove from the previous command and reruns the corrected command.
Syntax:
^bad^good

But this only works if that was the immediate previous command - if there were other commands entered between then and now, such as "what did I just do" the bash replacement will fail – Charles Green Jun 14 '14 at 14:13

that's what i said in my answer. OP only mentioned "i ran this command to install these packages now i want to remove those packages". That's all. – Avinash Raj Jun 14 '14 at 14:15
sudo apt-get removeorsudo apt-get purge– Pandya Jun 14 '14 at 13:47
