[SOLVED] Cannot delete LibreOffice completely!

I post the same problem in the german forum a few hours ago, but there seems no easy and quick solution.
Since last week a button appeared at the right top corner in Libre Office. It wants to update my LO from Version 4.4.2.to Version 4.4.3.
So i wonder a little bit, because I am sure,  i have installed libre-office-fresh with version 4.4.3. (I have set up my system 4 weeks ago so i am really sure)
So i have deleted it with pacman, but it is still there available in the Whisker Menu (XFCE is my DE)
. I have repeated everything with the same result... I dont understand that... I can neither delete or update it...

Then it means it is uninstalled.

Can you actually start libreoffice using that menu item?

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot delete LibreOffice completely!

It wasn't lost, you probably installed it from some place else. Maybe the AUR

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot delete LibreOffice completely!

If it was installed from the AUR, there should be some pacman output. Installing w/o a PKGBUILD can lead to situations like these.
Unless it wasn't libreoffice but e.g. openoffice :-)
