Cannot remove firetools

Support
1

I removed firetools using Pamac but the app is still installed and available in menu and can be launched, I tried to remove it using pacman but it gives me error: target not found: firetools.

2

Test in terminal and see if there are errors
pamac remove firetools
pacman -R firetools

or reinstall and try to see the errors in console

pacman only deals with packages…
did you install firetools as a snap or flatpak ?

I installed it from pamac GUI. I hate snaps and flatpaks.

Sorry, I think I found the problem, it’s just I recalled that I tried the previous year to modify the source code of firetools to change background colors to solve compatibility with Plasma dark theme.
I re-downloaded the source code from github and run ./configure then make & sudo make install & sudo make uninstall and the problem seems to be solved.
