Trying to remove "architecture i386"



I am running a "amd64" version of jessie and in an effort to get
'crossover_14.1.11-1.deb' installed, which is 32-bit. To do this I issued the
command -

╭────
│sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
╰────

and then -

╭────
│dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
╰────

then I did a 'apt-get update' and tried to install crossover again. I've
now given up trying to instal it and wish to move back to just being a
64-bit machine using amd64 packages only. I've therefore done -

╭────
│sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386
╰────

which failed saying -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
dpkg: error: cannot remove architecture 'i386' currently in use by the database
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How then can I remove 'i386' please, or should I just cut my losses and reinstall?

Thanks
Sharon
