>what is purge

purge, autoremove or something

you wouldn't believe how much crap do windows appz leave behind if uninstalled

You freetards just can't stop talking about Windows.

>debian
i am lmao'ing

i didn't even get to play it, writerest: op out of range every time i tried to load a game

only way to fix it was to manually recompile or something

fuck that shit
okay, reinstalled then purged... it's still fucking there

autoremoved, seems to be gone now

why are there three different commands to uninstall?

read the manual son

>why can't i hold all these features

OS X/macOS does not have this problem. Software is contained within ~/Applications/Foo/* instead of the Linux approach of splitting everything across /usr/share/foo, /usr/bin/foo, /usr/etc/foo, and a million other places.

95% of apps can be "uninstalled" just by dragging the .app package to the trash. This leaves config/data files (~/.foo et al) but scraps everything else. 4% of apps have a GUI uninstaller. Maybe 1% need any kind of manual cleanup. Homebrew software is just `brew uninstall foo`. Feels good not having to worry about this Gee Enn You Slash Linux bullshit.

gentoo doesn't have this problem.

remove just uninstalls the program, it leaves config files in case you want to reinstall again later
the --purge option removes the config files
autoremove removes unused dependencies, which often persist after you uninstall a program. most programs in general require multiple other programs in order to run, these are installed automatically unless you specify otherwise

to do a complete removal of a software package you simply remove --purge then autoremove the unused dependencies, it's not complicated.

dpkg -L

So exactly what OP doesn't want. Okay.

>okay, reinstalled then purged... it's still fucking there
TOLD
GFTO you RedHat JIDF shill

--purge

No, leaving files in ~/.foo is not the same thing as leaving portions scattered across the root filesystem. You usually don't want your config files/savegames/whatever to be deleted when you uninstall an app. That behaviour is common on mobile devices but pretty much unheard of anywhere else.

This is the power of lincucks. Hobbyist projects. Everything is half assed, every package manager in every distribution will leave shit like this. Install plan 9.

OP doesn't care where the files are, he just wants them gone. You're missing the point.

Actually good programs leave their configs/data in ~/Library/Application Support/App. So if you delete that and .app it's good enough.

To be fair, these files should have been removed with the purge option, they aren't dependencies or other packages, they're config files.

But that's the fault of the package maintainer not the packaging system itself.

Just use Revo uninstaller

OP, report this as a bug to whomever the package maintainer is for your distro.

I'm assuming you're using Ubanto, if so:
packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/dolphin-emu
It's the Ubuntu MOTU team.
Don't report bugs like this to upstream developers, it's the package maintainer that needs to fix the .deb package in ubuntu.

Pot calling the kettle black.

Just use sudo dnf remove instead.

You're the one who is missing the point, user. Removing all traces of of application software is not the same thing as removing the work files it created. If you uninstall a 20GiB game, you're probably doing it to clear space; you probably don't want your saves wiped.

Thanks, I had forgotten the exact path so I just went with ~/foo.

The point is it's a bug in the package and OP needs to report it to the Ubuntu MOTU team.
These files should be removed with purge, they should not need autoremove.

As for anyone claiming they should be removed with just apt-get remove - NO.
This is a very deliberate design choice and will not be change - WONTFIX.
