Hi, how can I remove a program from GNOME completely? I did not succeed through the graphical interface, is it done from the terminal?
try with this:
sudo pacman -Rns package name
and manually delete its leftovers from home directory
I’m going to delete Android Studio, but when I write android-studio it says package not found
output from:
pacman -Qs android-studio
How did you install it?
Maybe you installed a snap o flatpak
I’d do paru android studio
and then, from the list, see which is installed.
1 aur/android-studio 2021.2.1.15-1 (+1008 7.33)
No -this one, doesn’t have [Installed]
after it, or I will type paru -Rnsuv android-studio
to uninstall.
If it isn’t marked installed there, then check snaps (I think it’s snap list
but I don’t do snaps, so I can’t check) and flatpaks (flatpak list
).
In Pamac - the ‘add/remove’ from the menu - you shouldn’t be too specific.
Type android studio
with no hypen.
Then you see the Flatpak, AUR, and anything else enabled all listed.
In the past I had downloaded Android Studio from the official website, manually unpacked and moved it in the /opt
directory. Then I created a desktop app of Android Studio in ~/.local/share/applications/<app-name>.desktop
The installation of Android Studio is possible independent of any package managers e.g. pacman
, AUR
, flatpak
etc.
But I just removed it manually, that’s not the package manager’s job.
I have installed android studio with snap
Hello
I made a mistake in Android Studio and now I’m going to reinstall Android Studio, but with snap remove android-studio
, the program is not deleted in general and with the data, and after reinstalling it uses the previous data, what should I do to completely Install first?
Configuration files/data in your $HOME directory will never be touched by any installation/deinstallation process.
If that is what you mean - you have to remove that yourself.
Have you contacted the snap maintainer about this?
