  1. Best Answer

    To completely remove a package:

    sudo apt purge <package_name>

    In your case:

    sudo apt purge atom

    But if Atom was installed from snap? You have to remove it by snap. From the command line run this:

    snap remove atom

  2. It's easy! If you have installed using snap, then run:

    sudo snap remove atom

    Else, using apt-get:

    sudo apt-get remove atom

    After this remove the dependencies using:

    sudo apt-get autoremove

    Done!
