Hi Shahriar Vai, Hope it wouldn't seem that much awkard replying your mail now. I just figured out when I issued 'sudo apt-get --purge remove <package-name>' it freed few MBs and the when I again repeated the process with "sudo apt-get autoremove <package-name>", it again freed few more extra MBs. My mistake, I should copied my original command here. What is the basic difference between these two? Well I am googling it, but, so far I know 'autoremove' also automatically removes the dependent packages.
Thanks.
