   Excellent, it brought up the uninstall GUI and I used it!  Thank you!

   Before the uninstall, it was a quite large list.  Afterwards, "du:    
   cannot access '/opt/PPB': No such file or directory".  I'd say it got it!

   Yes, I use a Linux backup utility that I run from a USB drive and save    
   to an external hard drive.  Unfortunately, I can't remember what the    
   utility is called from memory.   
      
   By the way, I found a much smaller "personal" cyber utility;   
      
   https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/software/power-panel-personal/   
      
   Using the deb file, I install and uninstall from the software center.  I   
   tried it and it does like the Win version does, allowing testing of    
   battery, etc.  it's all from command line, but I'm going to keep it    
   installed.   
      
   Thanks again for your help.
