[SOLVED] Fully reinstall package with pacman

Hi there. I recently installed modernUI through the addons store. Freecad worked well, but I decided to uninstall modernUI. After that, freecad started to behave weirdly, so I uninstalled it with pacman, and removed its .config folder, and .cache folder. I also removed the file /opt/scripts/freecad.sh. When I went to reinstall it, all went well, but now, when I try and launch it from Plasma's application launcher, it says it is unable to find /opt/scripts/freecad.sh. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not add the file, and I'm not sure what is supposed to be in it. How can I use pacman to reinstall freecad and include that file?

What if you start frecad from the console?  The first command checks what will be called by the second command.

$ type -a FreeCAD
$ FreeCAD

Wow. This is really embarassing me now. I made /opt/scripts/freecad.sh to get freecad to launch with the right display scaling.
