I am running low on diskspace and want to free some up, Thing is the only thing left on my box to remove is packages.

I have tried apt-get remove konqeuror, even though the package was uninstalled, no disk space was free.

How can i feel up disk space using apt-get??

Thanks for any help that you may give.

Do dpkg purge to remove everything including the config files.
