Hi :) Yes, so maybe try; sudo apt remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer ttf-mscorefonts-installer
And then maybe clean out temp-files and what-not with; sudo apt clean sudo apt autoclean sudo apt autoremove sudo apt remove Because of the way the linux command-line remembers previously issued commands each command can be 'typed' faster by doing a keyboard up-arrow and then edit the previous command. In Ubuntu Ctrl and left-keyboard-arrow moves the cursor one word at a time making it easy to insert or delete the "auto". I'm fairly sure that at least one of those 4 commands is redundant when using 2 of the others but I find it easier to just run all 4 just to make sure. There is also a "purge" tag but I'm not completely sure what it gets rid of and I'm not sure if it should be used with a package-name after it or if it's better used in a more general way. This is all a very Windowsy way of doing things rather than a linuxy way but old habits die hard. I'd prolly reinstall the M$ fonts afterwards just to complete the Windowsy way of doing things; sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer Just to make sure I see documents from microsquish users in the secretive proprietary fonts they use rather than the Free and safe ones we use natively.
