Use the apt command. It will look something like this
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Even if the Ubuntu software center GUI is a very pretty eye candy i suggest learning your way around the Linux cli because there lays the true power of this operating system.
You can use the purge command from the apt package manager to permanently delete some pack and its dependencies.
For example for libre office you should type:
sudo apt purge libreoffice

libreofficeis just a met-package. Removing/purging it won't actually uninstall any of the LO components.sudo apt purge libreoffice*will remove everything with libreoffice in its name.

Or if you are uncomfortable with terminal you can also remove them using Ubuntu Software->Installed->Remove. You might need to retry it a couple of times if it failsenter image description here
