Remove Bloatware on the Raspberry Pi

Remove bloatware from Raspberry Pi Raspbian with one script. This will remove the storage hogging programs and some other often never-used tools including:

  1. Wolfram Engine
  2. LibreOffice
  3. Minecraft Pi
  4. Sonic Pi
  5. Dillo Web Broswer (dillo)
  6. Image Viewer (gpicview)
  7. Penguines Puzzle (penguinspuzzle)
  8. Java (oracle-java8-jdk openjdk-7-jre oracle-java7-jdk openjdk-8-jre)

The script will then autoremove, autoclean and then update the aptitude pacakges on the Pi itself.

Installation

Automatic

Run the following command within the Raspberry Pi terminal:

sudo curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raspberrycoulis/remove-bloat/master/remove-bloat.sh | bash

Manual

If the automatic method does not work, you can manually download the repository and run the script after making it executable.

git clone git://github.com/raspberrycoulis/remove-bloat.git
cd remove-bloat
sudo chmod +x remove-bloat.sh
sudo ./remove-bloat.sh
