removing mx-tools

Hello Antix, Mx-Linux useres,
I want to remove most of the windows like programs and applications.
I already purged synaptic, but I also want to remove certain games, and features like HexChat, etc. I want to clean up the system, to what I really need. I'm pretty familiar using only the terminal.
I tried to purge things by name it, but it doesn't find the package. Is there something I can do, find out, where these things sits. to delete them.
I do not even really like a desktop environment, but during the last weeks I got a couple of issues with compiling a kernel, so I had to decide to use a stable and safe Distro.
But yeah, maybe I should try Antix instead!
Thanks for help
greetings algori

I also removed games :) I wish you removed Synaptic at the end after you did all using that :)
You can find all by names in MX Tools => MX Package Installer : Stable Repo tab .. search for the "Installed" ..
After you remove them all, you can use commands apt autoremove and apt autoclean ..
or use MX Tools => MX Cleanup .. Or install Bleachbit for deeper cleaning (that one removes unnecessary languages also and opens a good amount of space).. a kind of "CCleaner" ..
And , yes, of course you can install antiX Base (or even Core if you know how to) and go on installing according to your taste.. even install xfce :)

antiX provides net, core, base and full versions. One of them might suit better your needs.
