How to remove QEMU completely

Question

I installed QEMU from software center but removed latter (using software center). But updates are recommended to QEMU (see screen shot). That means QEMU is not uninstalled properly. How can I completely remove QEMU from my computer?

Using the Terminal

Uninstall just qemu with

sudo apt-get remove qemu

Uninstall qemu and it's dependencies with this

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove qemu

If you want to purge all the config and data off the system you can also use

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove qemu

This just worked for me. Where did you find this documentation? – DUKE Jul 02 '15 at 03:27
@DUKE I added the source in the answer. I did a simple google search to find it – Papa Casper Jul 02 '15 at 04:03

I still see a bunch of qemu packages installed on my machine (using synaptic) like: qemu-kvm, qemu-system-*, etc – Rodrigo Graça Feb 18 '20 at 18:58
