Bug Description
If you try to uninstall VLC using Ubuntu Software (GNOME Software), only the desktop/icon files are removed, not the actual binaries in /usr/bin. This is because VLC has them in a separate vlc-bin package and GNOME Software does not support uninstalling dependencies. Please, try to workaround this somehow.
