Stan, The previous discussion on uninstalling related to Linux (the Ubuntu distribution in particular) where users have built GnuCash from the source code.
On Linux, if you use the particular Linux distribution's (Ubuntu, Debian, Redhat, Centos etc.) supported version of Gnucash, it normally has an uninstall for the previous version available to the user. Unlike Windows though, it is not necessarily built into the installer for the succeeding versions to automatically uninstall any previous versions, which would be nice. Some distribution package managers may or should do that. Unfortunately the Linux distribution GnuCash versions are often considerably behind the GnuCash stable releases, so more Linux users tend to build from source than would on either Windows or MACs. Linux is complicated by there being many variants of it and these all tend to handle package management in their own way, which is why packaging for a particular distribution is in the hands of the people who manage the distribution rather than the GnuCash developers.
