[openSUSE Leap 15.3 (KDE)] Uninstall LibreOffice


I installed openSUSE Leap 15.3 (KDE).
It comes with LibreOffice 7.1.2.2.
I uninstalled that LibreOffice 7.1.2.2 using YaST2 since I want to install the latest version from
https://www.libreoffice.org/

I downloaded the file
LibreOffice_7.2.3_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

According to
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/...buntu_.2F_Mint
to install the RPM files, run
su -c ‘rpm -Uvh *.rpm’

^^^^^That worked.
It installed fine. I see LibreOffice on the Start menu and it runs alright.

How to uninstall it?


This is what the Wiki recommends
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/...buntu_.2F_Mint

su -c 'rpm -ev --allmatches libreoffice'

^^^^^This did not work. It says
error: package libreoffice is not installed

Try yast>software managment. Even though you installed with rpm it should still show.

sudo zypper rm libreoffice* --clean-deps is another option, possibly more thorough than YaST. The downloaded rpm packages might not all have started with libreoffice.

i run 15.3 and know for a fact that libreoffice installed from the rpm command will show up in yast

you can use that gui to uninstall
or
you can use zypper in the terminal

It worked with
sudo zypper rm --clean-deps libreoffice*
sudo zypper rm --clean-deps libobasis*

I was able to reinstall and uninstall.
I also uninstalled with the GUI way (The YaST2) and that worked as well.

I updated their wiki

There is a typo in the libreoffice phase of GUI uninstallation there.
