Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) — Question 65

When removing a package, which of the following dpkg options will completely remove the files including configuration files?

Answer options

• A. --clean
• B. --delete
• C. --purge
• D. –remove

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option is --purge, as it not only removes the package but also deletes all associated configuration files. The other options do not achieve this; --remove only uninstalls the package without deleting config files, while --clean and --delete are not valid options in this context.
