How to remove thunderbird

[hasty jetty]

How do you get rid of thunderbird? The software updater is taunting me with its red dot:

apt list --installed | grep "thund" yields

thunderbird-locale-en/now 1:128.4.1esr+linuxmint1+wilma all [installed,upgradable to: 1:128.4.2esr+linuxmint1+wilma]```

while `sudo apt remove thunderbird` yields:
```Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package 'thunderbird' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded.```

`sudo apt purge thunderbird` yields the same as above.

should be gone, give it time to settle

Not in the internet thing. I believe I've restarted several times in the interim. Also, why is thunderbird in apt list --installed?

you don't have thunderbird installed. you only have the language packs. apt autoremove should remove them, unless other packages depend on them. or just leave it alone, it doesn't take up any space on your system anyway.

sudo apt remove thunderbird*
can also be used here, it removes any thunderbird related packages, including the translate packs

Thanks very much. 🙂
