I was experimenting with having two different versions of Emacs (24 and 25) side-by-side on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. Now I would like to remove Emacs 25 because it errored during the installation (different story).
When I run the command to do so, I see that it wants to remove a lot of dependencies. I do not know much about these packages. How critical are they? Are all of them due to Emacs installation? I do not recall Emacs requiring 500MB of space. Typically it is about 90MB.

Your logs are in /var/log/ with apt|dpkg (or packaging task) logs in /var/log/apt/. The most recent will be history.log, with older files gzip'd (to save space) & also there (zcat
would be used to view a .gz file instead of usualcat
etc)
