first of all merry christmas to everyone.

I wanted to ask you a basic question. I installed a software, in this case Eclipse 3.8 through the following command:

sudo apt-get install eclipse

And the terminal told me :

After this operation, 236 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y

When I want to remove it I do :

sudo apt-get remove eclipse

and the terminal gives me : After this operation, 125 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y

My question is: how can I delete all the files I downloaded before?

Thanks in advance.

If you would like to remove all the downloaded packages which done using either Terminal or Ubuntu Software Center, you could use the command sudo apt-get clean. If you want to remove everything of the installed packages, you could use the command sudo apt-get purge {package_name}, in your case, sudo apt-get purge eclipse.
