Autoremove ?

[IdleOne]

Good morning Larry!

apt-get autoremove  Does not remove the installed programs, what it does
is remove the cached package files and cleans up. It is safe to run and
you will not lose any of your installed programs.

dpkg --configure -a    APT will tell you to run that when something went
wrong with the install/configuration of a package.
