I have a game 'AisleRiot' that I am trying to uninstall.
When trying to uninstall from the App Manager it tells me I can't do it because of two files that depends on it (some sort of themes for the game it looks like). Thing is - I don't see those files/installs in App Manager so I can't uninstall them...

Now I do remember that when I installed this game I got a notification of not having enough space.
The game ended up in Extras though and I can play it.

Is there some safe way that I can uninstall this from the command line maybe?

Latest version of Diablo, N810.

You could try "apt-get remove".
Google apt-get for more details.

dpkg --purge package-name works too. It will tell you what packages depend on the one you want to remove, and refuse to remove it if so. If you deem it safe to remove the others too, just repeat the command with the additional packages appended. This may result in more package dependencies. Repeat.

Obviously you may end up with an unusable system unless you look carefully at what you're about to remove.

Thanks, that did the trick!
Filing this under future useful commands (to be used carefully)
