Hello! I use Linux Mint, forgive me for my newbie knowledge here! I only knew basic stuff on linux ;v;

when I try to uninstall FFS, a pop-up warned me that there's no directory of the software, so I'm doing a different way to uninstall

I found out there's no command line given or a guide how to uninstall FFS in the official website, I went to the forums and I found this viewtopic.php?t=11511&hilit=uninstall+linux#p48073
someone mentioned that there's a "uninstall.sh" file to run and uninstall the software, then after looking up the installation directory, there's none D:

I tried to find more forums how to do it, and I'm out of luck :<

(Don't hold me to it, but I believe that is dated, & there is no longer an actual uninstall.sh included?

Looks like it was nothing more then to verify that FFS is not running, then simply removing the program parts/directories & desktop shortcuts.)

uninstall.sh still exists. OP is using a non-official build from somewhere else.

I downloaded it from the https://freefilesync.org/download.php, I even downloaded the new version of FFS and there's still no uninstall.sh :(

Sounds like you deleted the installation directory manually.
