If you run Abhishek's it will remove other packages. On mine it was going to remove these too

The following packages will be REMOVED

libapache2-mod-php5.5*
libapache2-mod-php5.6* php-common* php-gettext* php-igbinary*
php-memcached* php-msgpack* php-pear* php-xdebug* php5-cli*

php5-common* php5-dev* php5-json* php5-memcache* php5-memcached*

php5-readline* php5-redis* php5-xdebug* php5.5-cli* php5.5-common*

php5.5-curl* php5.5-json* php5.5-mysql* php5.5-opcache*
php5.5-readline* php5.5-xml* php5.6* php5.6-cli* php5.6-common*
php5.6-curl* php5.6-fpm* php5.6-json* php5.6-mbstring* php5.6-mysql*
php5.6-opcache* php5.6-readline* php5.6-xml* pkg-php-tools*

So you're better off with

sudo apt-get purge php7.*

The way to remove PHP and dependencies is:

apt-get autoremove php7.0

  @Melebius yes it works for me on 17.10 too - autoremove in place of remove causes the orphaned dependencies to be removed at the same time, which saves running an additional command. I don't know why it is not documented as it's very useful!

After purging, you still need to run some steps:

sudo apt-get purge php7.*



sudo apt-get autoremove --purge



whereis php



# Remove all dirs specified in last command:

sudo rm -rf /etc/php

If you run Abhishek's it will remove other packages. On mine it was going to remove these too

The following packages will be REMOVED

libapache2-mod-php5.5*
libapache2-mod-php5.6* php-common* php-gettext* php-igbinary*
php-memcached* php-msgpack* php-pear* php-xdebug* php5-cli*

php5-common* php5-dev* php5-json* php5-memcache* php5-memcached*

php5-readline* php5-redis* php5-xdebug* php5.5-cli* php5.5-common*

php5.5-curl* php5.5-json* php5.5-mysql* php5.5-opcache*
php5.5-readline* php5.5-xml* php5.6* php5.6-cli* php5.6-common*
php5.6-curl* php5.6-fpm* php5.6-json* php5.6-mbstring* php5.6-mysql*
php5.6-opcache* php5.6-readline* php5.6-xml* pkg-php-tools*

So you're better off with

sudo apt-get purge php7.*

The way to remove PHP and dependencies is:

apt-get autoremove php7.0

  @Zanna You are right. Moreover, this seems to work on my Ubuntu 16.04 but giving a package name to apt-get autoremove is not documented in the man page.

  @Melebius yes it works for me on 17.10 too - autoremove in place of remove causes the orphaned dependencies to be removed at the same time, which saves running an additional command. I don't know why it is not documented as it's very useful!
