I just upgraded my Kubuntu to 17.04 from 16.10 - following this guide.

But during the upgrade stage it was interrupted - my machine hung so I had to restart it.

So I missed the step of Remove obsolete packages.

After logging in, from my terminal:

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 17.04
Release:        17.04
Codename:       zesty

I have it upgraded but how can I remove obsolete packages then?

Edit:

I did this:

$ sudo apt-get autoremove

But is it the right way doing it?
