How to remove brave and all its data?

Hi @anon28833997,

IIRC Brave browser is based on chrome/cromium, and if that’s the case synchronization will stop working in the not to distant future, so that should be motivation ti not worry or get something else anyway.

Nevertheless, pacman doesn’t touch you configuration files in your home directory. Since I don’t use, or even have Brave I’m going to guess on the directories, so they might be wrong. To clear the configuration, delete any configuration in your home directory,

rm -fr ~/.brave
rm -fr ~/.config/brave

(If the directory doesn’t exist nothing will happen.)

  • rm is the command to delete something. I like to think it stands for remove.

  • The -f argument stands for force, and causes the command not to ask user confirmation to perform the operations.

  • The -r argument stands for recursive and it’ll cause everything inside the directory to be deleted as well.

Hope this helps!
