How to uninstall Latex?
Ubuntu and Latex newbie here. Very basic question I have.
I recently installed Latex using the following code:
sudo apt-get install texlive
However, I want to uninstall this and just get the latex base for now.
I tried the following but it doesn't work:
sudo apt-get remove texlive
dpkg --get-selections | grep tex shows that a number of latex related files are installed.
How do I remove texlive?

Many other dependencies also got in when you ran sudo apt-get install texlive. When you ran the apt-get remove command, then only the texlive package was uninstalled, not its dependencies.
You can easily remove these extra unneeded dependencies by running:
sudo apt-get autoremove
