Describe the bug

Installed AppImageLauncher via Launchpad repository ppa:appimagelauncher-team/stable Removed AppImageLauncher via terminal command:

sudo apt remove appimagelauncher

Rebooted computer. Attempted to open a new downloaded appimage (appimaged) and received a warning that it was unable due to AppImageLauncher being present. Elevated to Root and inspected files. Found AppImageLauncher files all still intact and present.

In terminal, ran

sudo apt remove --purge appimagelauncher

sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoremove

Result was most files removed, except systemd file hook. Rebooted assuming that it would be removed upon restart. Attempted to open new appimage only to be greeted with same error. Manually removed the remaining file from /home/$USER/.config and from /home/$USER/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants

Attempted to open new AppImage - success.

Expected behavior

I expected to see the application properly removed.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Add ppa repository sudo add-apt-repository ppa:appimagelauncher-team/stable

Install application sudo apt install appimagelauncher

Integrate some app images.

Remove application sudo apt remove appimagelauncher

Inspect for remainder files. Possible: attempt to open appimaged

Screenshots

I took none as I did not anticipate the need for any prior to falling into the abyss.

Distribution and desktop environment

Zorin OS 16.2 Lite XFCE 4.16 D.E.

Installed AppImageLauncher version

appimagelauncher (202211022348-stable-0f91801~ubuntu20.04.1)

List of AppImages you tried

Aside from appimaged, none.

I was searching for and testing appimage management tools.

However, I did test another prior to removing appimagelauncher that is NOT an appimage: Bauh - installed by Pip.
