Removing and reinstalling #4

Closed FieryMewtwo closed 2 years ago

FieryMewtwo commented 2 years ago

Okay:

So, I installed MultiMC the other day (~1 week ago) and have loved it. One issue though: now my installation is completely busted. It was already busted a few days ago, so I searched the filesystem and deleted anything that wasn't in the repo clone I had made. I tried reinstalling using makepkg -f and it crashes on startup. Can someone help me completely purge this so I can play MC again? Thanks!

Unfortunately the package only installs a setup script, so uninstalling the package only removes that setup script, not the actual multimc installation.

The setup script installs multimc into XDG_DATA_HOME (usually ~/.local/share), so to remove multimc you should remove ~/.local/share/multimc.

Terrible advice, you will just delete all your worlds that way. Please do not do this.

At the very least, make sure you don't delete the instances folder...

Yep, unfortunately multimc lumps binaries, data, config and cache all into one place, so you do need to be careful when "uninstalling" it.

Who needs the XDG Base Directory Specification anyways?
