uninstall sublime text 3 on ubuntu 12.04

To remove SUBLIME TEXT from your machine:

Go To Terminal and type:

sudo apt remove sublime-text

this worked for me....

Option 1

If you installed sublime-text-3 with apt-get, based on this article:

http://www.webupd8.org/2013/07/sublime-text-3-ubuntu-ppa-now-available.html

With these lines:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer

You could remove your installation:

sudo apt-get remove sublime-text-installer

Option 2

If you installed Sublime Text 3 from a .deb package which was downloaded directly from Sublime Text page: http://www.sublimetext.com/3

And you have used this command for installation

sudo dpkg -i sublime-text_build-3047_amd64.deb

Or you just double clicked on it and Ubuntu Software Center installed it...

So, in this case:

sudo dpkg -r sublime-text

But you have to reinstall Sublime Text 2 in each case... Your configurations are in different folders, so your previous settings which belongs to Sublime Text 2, will be still there.
