I want to remove ImageMagick from Ubuntu 16.04.
I've tried sudo apt-get remove imagemagick with no joy.
I've tried to click the "remove" button in the Ubuntu Software app, but that doesn't remove this app. (The Ubuntu Software app appears to remove it, but it doesn't actually uninstall. When I close and reopen the Ubuntu Software app, ImageMagick is still listed.)
I did not install this app. It apparently came pre-installed with the Ubuntu distribution. I've read elsewhere that if I had installed it with a make command that I could make an uninstall routine. If that is how I need to go, I'd very much appreciate which directory to use and which commands I need to use to create the uninstall routine.
(Note: this is not a duplicate of the other "How to uninstall Imagemagick" question, as that question was for a user who apparently had installed ImageMagick themselves.)
Thanks very much!

First, before removing it, you should know that you will remove other software that you might need, like parts of the printing system. My recommendation? Don't remove image magic.
But if you are sure you want to remove it, you can do this in a terminal window
