Hi guys,
Even though i have tried to uninstall ROS using sudo apt-get remove ros-groovy-*, still there are some remaining packages like: ros-groovy-bfl, ros-groovy-opencv2 ... etc. Did anybody know how to completely remove them because i want to try a fresh installation of ROS and i dont want to have something from the previous installation.
Thank you in advance!
Use
sudo apt-get purge ros-*
It will also remove configuration files. And then
sudo apt-get autoremove
To remove dependencies
I also used 'sudo apt-get autoremove' which uninstalls unused references as well. You could also remove the remaining packages individually and then performe the autoremove again so that also all unsed dependencies of the packages are removed.
@Albetch Did you find a solution to completely uninstall it because I am also facing a similar problem

I don't know in which situation it actually matters but most times I use
purgeinstead ofremove, so the package's configuration is cleaned.
