Ubuntu – How to completely remove ubuntu-restricted-extras

ubuntu-restricted-extras

I recently installed ubuntu-restricted-extras but it is causing bugs in Google Chrome, and I want want to remove it. However, when I do it using sudo apt-get autoremove or sudo apt-get purge it doesn't seem to be completely removed because when I was installing it, a lot of packages got removed and others got installed.
My question is: How do I make things just like they was before installing ubuntu-restricted-extras?

Thanks.

You can use synaptic. If you don't have it installed, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install synaptic

Once done, open synaptic, by typing it in dash, and once it opens search for ubuntu-restricted-extras, right click, and choose Mark for Complete Removal, and then click on Apply.
