Use this command to compleatly remove programs from your system

sudo apt-get remove --purge "program name"

Then run

sudo apt-get autoremove

To clear useless left over libs

Just go to ubuntu-software-centre and in there go to installed programs and remove or un-install those programs you don't want.
