I am running Ubuntu Mate 15.10 on my system. I was trying to remove Thunderbird using sudo apt-get autoremove thunderbird but then noticed that in the list of packages to be removed, there was also ubuntu-mate-desktop. Why does this happen? What will happen if that also gets removed? And, how do I only remove thunderbird?

The safer way to remove/ uninstall a package is by using the command :

sudo apt-get purge thunderbird

The autoremove feature removes all the packages in the system that are not needed.

Hope it helps.
