How to remove all GAE data from linux?
« on: 11 March 2012, 20:53:06 »
OK, a very noobish question here, sorry about that :)

I installed GAE and didn't like it much. When I was installing it via apt-get install glestgame, the games had about 150 MB.
When I used apt-get remove glestae, I was told that after this operation there would be 5 255 kB removed.

How can I delete the rest?
Thanks.

I didn't know GAE was even in the (Debian?) repositories. In any case you probably just removed the executable package. Look for the data package. There might be user files in /home/user/.glestadv .

This directory has merely 100 KB of data.  :look:

It is not in the repositories, I added a new source to my Ubuntu Software Center.

Probably one of these then, apt-cache policy glestae would tell.

Run these commands to remove it all:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get --purge remove glestae glestae-data
rm -r ~/.glestae ~/.glestadv
Make sure you have no typos there, rm -r if used on the wrong directory, can be disastrous.
