Thanks Leszek and Andre,
Yes, I meant the Chromium browser.
If I enter:
sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser
I get:
C: Command not found
E: Could not get lock var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily
unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (var/lib/dpkg), is another
process using it?
I looked in Synaptic Package Manager and "Chromium-browser" is there, but
unticked.
Does this mean I downloaded using Firefox and not the Lubuntu Software
Centre?
Thanks,
Steve
