Document how to uninstall the GUI on Linux

Bomper commented 6 years ago

I see a Windows installer README, but nothing for Linux. Is it sufficient to delete ~/.bitmonero in addition to the monero-gui-vx.x.x.x directory?

For those that come here via Google, the relevant paths are:

~/.bitmonero/ - blockchain
~/.config/monero-project/ - GUI config
~/Monero/ - default wallet location (careful)

Please note that when creating a wallet from the CLI, it'll be saved in the same folder as the binary.

I am new to Monero but I think ~/.Monero/ is meant to be ~/Monero/ for the default wallet location (for monero-gui-v0.12.0.0 at least)

If a Linux user is unsure (for now) then running the following command in terminal should find any directories with a max depth of 2 that contain the string "monero"

find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -iname "*monero*" -print

Outputs the following

~/monero-gui-vx.xx.x.x - Monero downloaded package location
~/Monero/ - default wallet location (careful)
~/.config/monero-project/ - GUI config
~/.bitmonero/ - default blockchain location

monero-project / monero-gui
