Folder keeps appearing

[SamuelDarkS]

Hello! I’m using Manjaro Gnome, however, even if I already uninstalled Kindle from my PC it keeps appearing the folder, how can I fix it?

Welcome to the forum!

Uninstalling an application does not remove the application’s configuration files in your home directory, so you’ll have to manually delete that directory. It should be safe to do so.

Hello @SamuelDarkS

I guess you installed Kindle through wine … if so, then check this folder:

$HOME/.local/share/applications/

There are all desktop files located which are installed as user, not as root.

However, like @Aragorn says… configuration files at your home folder are not removed by any uninstall.

Hey guys! Thanks for answering so fast. Then, I uninstalled everything, but it keeps appearing. -I don’t know if I got all the instructions right, I’m really noob yet-

@SamuelDarkS

it keeps appearing the folder,

What folder?

[SamuelDarkS]

It appears two folders, the ‘‘Kindle’’ one and ‘‘Uninstall Kindle’’.

[megavolt]

You mean the desktop files or shortcuts at the menu?

Shortcuts at the menu

Could you open a terminal and type this:

ls -R ~/.local/share/applications/

Please post the output here.

@megavolt

ls -R $HOME/.local/share/applications/

It appears like that:
ls -R $HOME/.local/share/applications/ 

And here are the “shortcuts”:

@SamuelDarkS

/home/samdavi/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs:
Amazon

/home/samdavi/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Amazon:
‘Amazon Kindle’ ‘Amazon Kindle For PC’

‘/home/samdavi/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Amazon/Amazon Kindle’:

‘/home/samdavi/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Amazon/Amazon Kindle For PC’:

Delete them:

rm -Rf ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Amazon

and run

update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/

Btw. dot files/folders like .local are hidden files/folders. You need to make them visible at your file manager.
