Hi!
Recently i had an issue with my graphics card. I fixed it, but then i
started investigating what caused my problem. And i remembered i had
installed a game, an fps called redeclipse. I have a rather abusive
teenage past with quake, so i quickly removed it to save myself :)
This game seem to be using my Nvidia, so i thought i'd resintall it,
just to see if i could repeat the error. and the terminal tells me this:
$ sudo apt-get install redeclipse
[sudo] password for set:
Reading package lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
libenet2a libmikmod2 libsdl-mixer1.2 redeclipse-data
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libenet2a libmikmod2 libsdl-mixer1.2 redeclipse redeclipse-data
0 upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
----> *Need to get 0 B/656 MB of archives.* <---- ?????????????????
After this operation, 772 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
So i go yes, of course nothing is downloaded so it's really alot faster
than initial install.
I check my drivers, all good. The game is not the problem.
I remove it again, first with purge, and then autoremove to get rid of
those 700+ mb
I get this on on purge:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
redeclipse*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 4 625 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
And then autoremove:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libenet2a libmikmod2 libsdl-mixer1.2 redeclipse-data
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
---> *After this operation, 767 MB disk space will be freed.* <-- ?????
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
but i get suspicious so i check installation again:
The following extra packages will be installed:
libenet2a libmikmod2 libsdl-mixer1.2 redeclipse-data
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libenet2a libmikmod2 libsdl-mixer1.2 redeclipse redeclipse-data
0 upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/656 MB of archives.
---> *After this operation, 772 MB of additional disk space will be
used.* <----
SO my question is: how do i get rid of this data?
Thankfull for an answer,
