How to completely remove CLION-2016.2.3 from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?

Question

I installed the CLion (2016.2.3) IDE from the CLion-2016.2.3.tar.gz file. I accidentally deleted the file CLion-2016.2.3.tar.gz and CLion-2016.2.3 (which I received after extracting CLion-2016.2.3.tar.gz ). Now CLion is not working. When I started dpkg --list from the terminal, CLion was not in the output. I want to completely remove CLion (all its files, folders, dependencies, etc. (Even configuration files)). How to completely remove it?

Answer 1

Run the following command in the terminal to find all directories and files containing clion in their name: -

$ sudo find . -iname "*clion*" sudo find . -iname "*clion*"

Then delete the directories and files found.

To delete directories / files , go to the folder of this directory / file in the terminal using cd and run the following command: -

$ sudo rm -rf DIRECTORY_NAME/FILE_NAME

Answer 2

Simple steps:

• Delete the clion folder that you downloaded and extracted.
• Delete cache in ~ /. using the command: sudo rm -r ~ / .Clion.

Answer 3

You also need to delete the settings that are stored in ~ /. catalog. This is for Unix / Linux.

Answer 4

All Clion binaries are stored in the folder that you deleted.

But Clion sets the settings at the first start, and you may see a menu icon that does not indicate anywhere.

I suggest you run something like find ~ -iname "*clion*" and examine the found. If you are using the Gnome2 or MATE desktop, you will certainly find .desktop files which are the icons you are looking for.
