about un-installing.
You do in fact have to go through and manually delete all the config files etc. Typically when you use a package manager to un-nstall things it only un-installs the packages and dependencies that came with the initial install. The way to do this is : 1 use your package manager to remove the package ex for ubuntu: Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove package-name 2 update your data base Code:
sudo updatedb Code:
locate package-name Code:
rm /path/to/package-name.leftover Not doing this can cause conflicts if you try to reinstall the package. Linux doesn't have a registry but you still have to clean up after big programs like compiz are removed. |
