Post Update: I did a clean install of Manjaro using the latest iso available to download, and on a fresh install, I ran the command below, and the same packages are there. I’m guessing this a bug.
Hi all, in Konsole, if I use the command:
flatpak remove --delete-data
I always see this:
And if I run it again, I get this:
However, upon restarting my system, running the command will bring up the exact same list of software in the first screenshot.
But if I try running a targeted command against one of the packages listed above, I get this error:
Is there a way to truly purge all traces of the aforementioned flatpak packages?
I don’t have this issue with other flatpak packages I’ve installed and uninstalled.
flatpak uninstall --unused
?
@growler
When I run this, I get “Nothing unused to uninstall”.
@linux-aarhus
Aye, I’ve tried that, and nothing in there helps.
When I run
du -ch /var/lib/flatpak
I have 9.3G total size. I ran the
sudo flatpak repair
And have restarted, but the issues persist.

The topic was created in response to a similar topic as yours.
The uninstall --unused will only have meaning if you have removed all named flatpaks. Another option is to use the --all flag perhaps add some non-interaction flags to the process
flatpak uninstall --all --assumeyes --noninteractive
One could possibly deduce if that is the case by looking at the output from
flatpak list
If the list contains other packages than themes and platform packages then you should attempt to remove that package as well.
Ah, right, just to be clear, I have flatpack packages that I do use and like to continue to use; the issue is with packages that seem to have lingering associated files that “return” after a reboot.
flatpak list
Pulls up all currently active flatpak packages, and none of the ones in the first screenshot in my original post shows up. And if I were to install and then uninstall any new flatpaks, they also do not show up if I use the
flatpak remove --delete-data
command.
Update: I managed to resolve the issue by re-installing all of the packages listed in the first screenshot, then uninstalling them via:
>flatpak uninstall --delete-data (package names)
Not sure why I didn’t try this the first time.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Upon a restart, the phantoms came back.
