[SOLVED] How to uninstall a flatpak program please

Michael Piziak · 09-10-2021, 05:43 PM

What command do I type into terminal to uninstall Gimp that was installed with flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP

Do I simply type flatpak uninstall flathub org.gimp.GIMP, into terminal?

Code:

sudo apt purge "*flatpak*"

worked for me

Never had any flatpak problems since!

It's possible that you have to learn some special flatpak commands, though.

Code:

flatpak uninstall <program> && flatpak uninstall --unused

This will get rid of the program and anything the program pulled in as required that is no longer needed by anything.

Yea, I don't want to uninstall flatpak, just Gimp (that was installed using flatpak)

yea, I think this is what I'm looking for. Thanks.
Marking as solved....

Addendum: This command, typed into terminal, did the trick: "flatpak uninstall org.gimp.GIMP"
