Hello professors, how can I delete a package or software completely ??
My Linux distribution is Manjaro and I did not install the software from their manager package. I downloaded the file directly from the software site itself and installed it manually. Now I delete and reinstall any data. All the data already exists.
There is vscode software that can not be removed completely. If you know a way, please let me know. Thank you very much

In this case these data may be anywhere. What app you installed and how – provide exact steps?

3

Then you should look for information how to remove it first on the software site.

4

visual studio code

.tar.gz file

and I installed from snap but There is still old data

5

The site did not write anything about it or I did not find it

6

So you installed it in Portable Mode in Visual Studio Code ? Then it should be straight forward what to remove …

Hi @A.TBTB,

Check in your $HOME/.config/ directory for any remnant of VS Code.

I, myself, use Code - OSS which, AFAIK, is just an VS Code fork with all M$ Telemetery removed, and there are files/directories under ~/.config:

$ cd ~/.config/Code\ -\ OSS

I’m unsure is this’ll help, but I suspect it will.
