How to cleanly remove (Uninstall) Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Released

You may be aware of some guides on the internet telling you how to do this, mainly using one of the following commands,

sudo apt-get purge openoffice.org*
sudo apt-get purge openoffice.org-* 

If you run either of the above commands the following packages will be REMOVED:

aspell* aspell-en* dictionaries-common* hunspell-en-ca* hunspell-en-us* language-support-en* language-support-writing-en* myspell-en-au* myspell-en-gb* myspell-en-za* openoffice.org-base-core* openoffice.org-calc* openoffice.org-common* openoffice.org-core* openoffice.org-draw* openoffice.org-emailmerge* openoffice.org-gnome* openoffice.org-gtk* openoffice.org-help-en-us* openoffice.org-impress* openoffice.org-math* openoffice.org-style-human* openoffice.org-writer* python-uno* wbritish*
Now if you did, just reinstall these packages:
sudo apt-get install aspell aspell-en dictionaries-common hunspell-en-ca hunspell-en-us language-support-en language-support-writing-en myspell-en-au myspell-en-gb myspell-en-za wbritish
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 To remove OpenOffice
sudo apt-get purge openoffice*.* && sudo apt-get autoremove
 
 
 To reinstall libreOffice
