Deleting standard browser

Question

Is there any difference between this command:
apt-get purge firefox

and these 2 commands:

sudo apt-get remove firefox && sudo apt-get autoremove

apt-get autoremove --purge firefox – dobey Jul 05 '16 at 20:55 — dobey, Jul 05 '16 at 20:55

sudo apt-get remove firefox just uninstalls Firefox.

sudo apt-get purge firefox also deletes configuration files.

sudo apt-get autoremove removes packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no longer needed.

If you already used remove but want to purge, follow these instructions.. BTW, I probably don't know much more about all this than you do, I just searched my way to these answers. – Fiksdal Jul 05 '16 at 20:54
