Title says it all. I installed it via app grid or ubuntu software center, not sure which one. The software app does not function properly for me in xubuntu so, i decided to install libreoffice from alternatives.
However i realised afterwards that i ended up with 2 versions of the application.
Decided to remove all and reinstall, then i removed libre-office 5 successfully but not the 6. Problem is, version 6 doesn't show up in package lists and i'm not very experienced on the matter of package location and removal.
Here's the "dpkg --get-selections" list:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpkwn0c6fx60twb/installed.txt?dl=0
I don't know which one to remove to get rid of libreoffice 6.
I don't want to get my hands dirty digging up files and folders, i'm worried about leaving leftovers. So if someone knows what's going on please help me out.
Edit: There is no desktop file for libreoffice in /usr/share/applications.

You have installed the LibreOffice 6.0 snap package (libreoffice). Snap packages do not appear in the results of dpkg --get-selections . To uninstall the LibreOffice 6.0 snap package, open the terminal and type:
sudo snap remove libreoffice

I searched and searched before answering this question to find out if Ubuntu App Grid supports snap packages, but I didn't find anything. Ubuntu Software Center does not list snap packages, but the Ubuntu Software app in 16.04 does list snap packages. The best way to install snap packages is from the terminal by runningsnap info package-namefirst to check if the snap package named package-name or whatever has any required installation options as many snap packages do.

Try clicking the little orange notification icon next to Updates in the Ubuntu Software menu bar if there is any little orange icon and update Ubuntu Software.
