• Getting a list of unused packages (not the installed ones): dpkg –list | grep -v -E “^ii”

• Purging packages list: dpkg –purge packagename

So doing all this in one line would be something like: dpkg –purge dpkg --list | grep -v -E "^ii" | perl -ne '/^rc\s+([^\s]+)/ && print "$1 ";'

Be careful!
