I had installed opera 9.63 and AVG in Ubuntu, but I don't want to use them now. How can I uninstall them? I cannot find any information in "Add / Remove programs"

If you want to do it via gui just run the Synaptic application and uncheck the applications you want to remove. If you want to do it from a terminal just type "sudo aptitude uninstall XXXX" where XXXX is the application name you want to remove.

Thank you, but I found the command is "remove", not "intsall"

One of the easiest and most efficient command line methods is sudo apt-get remove <package name>
