How to uninstall Barrier on Kubuntu?

[AvgOrdinaryGuy]

Installed Barrier complied from source hoping to correct issues that developed on my snap install. After uninstalling the snap package, I installed from source, but still have the same issues. How can a source install be uninstalled please?

If you used make, it's not possible as our build system - CMake - does not enable an uninstall target by default.

I do not believe we have plans for an uninstall target at this time.

If you look at the RPM spec, you'll see a list of installed files, and you can delete them from there. You will need root perms.

Below is a command to delete all listed files the RPM spec declares. Use with caution, I take no responsibility if this messes up your system - you, and you alone should use your discretion whenever to run the command.

It is derived from the RPM spec and only deletes from the /usr/local prefix, which the install target would normally install. If you used a different prefix, I can't help you there.

sudo rm -v /usr/local/bin/barrier /usr/local/bin/barrierc /usr/local/bin/barriers /usr/local/man/man1/barrierc.1 /usr/local/man/man1/barriers.1 /usr/local/share/applications/barrier.desktop /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/barrier.svg

Thanks shymega, that got the job done. However, some configuration files must still remain, because after removing and re-installing from repo, there was no new install setup routine offered, and Barrier is trying to run my old configurations that don't exist any longer. That leads for failure to start.

Look at the .config directory in your HOME.

Thanks again. Found a barrier config file in .config/Debauchee/ that I had overlooked before.

Good, closing now.
