I am trying to remove TexLive 2018 in order to do a fresh install of TexLive 2019 after a failure to upgrade Cannot find TeX Live root using kpsewhich --var-value=SELFAUTOPARENT

I try the first command at How to remove everything related to TeX Live for fresh install on Ubuntu?

sudo apt-get purge texlive*

I am informed that 

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  aglfn asymptote-doc biber chktex dvidvi fonts-adf-accanthis fonts-adf-berenis fonts-adf-gillius fonts-adf-universalis fonts-arphic-bkai00mp fonts-arphic-bsmi00lp fonts-arphic-gbsn00lp
  fonts-arphic-gkai00mp fonts-bae ... LONG LIST OF PACKAGES
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

The list of packages is too long for a manual removal one by one.

What to do?

Just type

sudo apt autoremove

and the system will remove all those packages, which are no longer needed.
