I'm trying to install the 64bit version of Visual Studio Code but I can't figure out how to remove the 32 bit version first. I'm running Ubuntu 17.04. I tried:

sudo apt-get purge code

but that removes the newly installed 64 bit version. Other things I've tried with no luck:

sudo dpkg --remove code
sudo dpkg --remove visual-studio-code
sudo apt-get --auto-remove visual-studio-code
sudo umake --remove ide visual-studio-code

I have no idea what else to try. Any help would be appreciated!

  • How did you install this 32-bit version? – muru Aug 28 '17 at 01:46
  • @muru From what I remember I downloaded the .deb then used GDebi Package Installer to install. – SS113 Aug 28 '17 at 01:48
  • Then if you installed the 64-bit version also using a deb package, it overwrote the old 32-bit version. – muru Aug 28 '17 at 01:49
  • it didn't. I had both installed at the same time and I could start each individually. – SS113 Aug 28 '17 at 01:50
  • Do you still have the 32-bit deb file? If so, run dpkg-deb --info /path/to/32-bit-deb-file, and add the output to the question, please. – muru Aug 28 '17 at 01:52
