Hi Richmond,

Assuming that you never install for "All Users", then you can try 
something like:


find $HOME -iname 'livecode*.desktop'

to list all of the .desktop files that LiveCode installs to make 
itself appear in your menu system.


You can then manually delete the ones you no longer require.

(I haven't actually tried this so some fudging around may be needed in 
order to make it work).

To be honest 'find $HOME -iname 'livecode*.desktop'' didn't list much, 
so I took the quick-n-dirty route

of deleting the folders from within /Home/.runrev/components/ . . .

and then manually deleting .desktop files the in 
/Home/.local/share/application folder.


The most useful information was pointing out the .local folder to me!

Richmond.

Thank you both: and, Peter, as I much prefer fudge to toffee, that's 
fine with me.

Re: Uninstalling Livecode

[[-hh]]

If you install "for this user":
Go to user's directory /home/.runrev/components.
Execute in each directory of a version you want to remove the "setup".
Some older versions don't work or don't work fully with that.
Then delete the directory (the rest and links to it) 'manually'.

If you install "for all users":
You have to find "components" (somewhere in /opt, find it by following
a link from a desktop icon). Then do the above.

Uninstalling Livecode

[RM]

Currently I have about 40 versions of Livecode installed on my Xubun tu 
system, with them all

showing up in the menu system.

This is giving my system "gut rot".

If I dig into the /home/.runrev directory I can manually delete the 
versions I don't want, but the
system still 'sees' those I have deleted, so they show up in the menu 
system.


Is there a way to remove all but the 8 versions I use (3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 
6.7.11, 7.14, 8.0.1, 8.0.2 rc-1 & 8.10) completely?
