Remove alienfx from Linux Mint 20 #92

Hi, Can you advise on how to fully remove alienfx once installed. I'm getting an error on execution and want to fully reinstall.

Thanks

Ian

I've actually removed all alienfx files from /usr/local/bin and ~/.local/bin. Scanned drives and cannot seen anymore files, have I missed any?

Have you removed the udev rules loated in /etc/udev/rules.d/ ?

A reinstall will overwrite all of the files. But if you just want to uninstall it, this is where you can find these files:

/usr/share/applications <-- alienfx/data/share/applications/alienfx.desktop /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps <-- alienfx/data/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/alienfx.svg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps <-- alienfx/data/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/alienfx.png /usr/share/pixmaps <-- alienfx/data/pixmaps/alienfx.png /usr/share/man/man1 <-- docs/man/alienfx.1

Interesting, it seems you've fixed the issue I was having and when I reinstalled I was able to change colours.

Thanks
