I installed Skype via Software Center and now I want to remove it. I try to run sudo apt-get --purge remove skype but I can not find skype package and then I remove it in Software Center. After uninstall, I try to remove icon but I cant find solution.
My question is how to deep remove application installed in Software Center without package name (dpkg --list) and how to remove icon left in Show Application?
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.
