With these commands you only remove your gnuplot that comes over your
package management, it don't remove your own compiled gnuplot.

apt-get is your package management.

Please give some answers to the two questions above, otherwise nobody
can help you. Nobody can see which version you starts, or what terminals
are included.

It can be that the command 'gnuplot' is linked to your own compiled
'gnuplot 5.2.6'.

Can you start gnuplot with 'gnuplot-qt'?
