(Linux Mint) Switched to an AMD graphics card recently and ran “sudo apt remove --purge” on all ^nvidia* and ^libnvidia* packages. Unfortunately, one package (libnvidia-compute-470) seems to not get the message and won’t remove itself. Quick search around the internet on solutions have not resolved the issue yet. Wondering if anyone had any ideas how to manually remove this package? Cheers!

    Thanks. Checking dependencies, a few were listed, but none were installed. I managed to get it to purge finally by using it’s full package name “libnvidia-compute-470:ix86”. Strange why it wouldn’t remove using the ^libnvidia* command though, as it contains those words. Thank you.
