I suggest the following to make sure everything is uninstalled   sudo apt-get purge mongodb mongodb-clients mongodb-server mongodb-dev  sudo apt-get purge mongodb-10gen  sudo apt-get autoremove   This should also remove your config from     etc mongodb conf    If you want to clean up completely and you might also want to remove the data directory    var lib mongodb

In my case mongodb packages are named mongodb-org and mongodb-org-   So when I type sudo apt purge mongo then tab  for auto-completion  I can see all installed packages that start with mongo   Another option is to run the following command  which will list all packages that contain mongo in their names or their descriptions    dpkg -l   grep mongo   In summary  I would do  to purge all packages that start with mongo    sudo apt purge mongo    and then  to make sure that no mongo packages are left    dpkg -l   grep mongo   Of course  as mentioned by  alicanozkara  you will need to manually remove some directories like  var log mongodb and  var lib mongodb  Running the following find commands   sudo find  etc  -name   mongo   and sudo find  var  -name   mongo    may also show some files that you may want to remove  like    etc systemd system mongodb service  etc apt sources list d mongodb-org-3 2 list   and    var lib apt lists repo mongodb     You may also want to remove user and group mongodb  to do so you need to run   sudo userdel -r mongodb sudo groupdel mongodb   To check whether mongodb user group exists or not  try   cut -d  -f1  etc passwd   grep mongo cut -d  -f1  etc group   grep mongo
