Why is Evolution present and active but not visible as installed? How to get rid of it?

  • 772

When inspecting the running processes on Ubuntu 16.04, I noticed few processes of Evolution.

enter image description here

However, when I opened Ubuntu Software Center to uninstall Evolution, it's shown as not even having been installed.

Why is this? How can I get rid of Evolution? I don't want such processes which I never use, unnecessarily consume RAM.

uninstall software-center evolution
