How do I delete all traces of a package? [SOLVED]

solar impulse · 2011-12-26 23:50:07

I had installed yakuake, and in an effort to make the theme all-transparent (as in no visible borders, etc) I managed to change the theme to show only a small line at the bottom.

I realized that I had gotten rid of the button to open the settings for shortcuts, etc. I tried uninstalling with

pacman -Rns yakuake

but when I reinstall, all the previous settings are still there.

I searched around usr/share/apps/yakuake/skins/, but the theme that I installed is not saved there, it is saved somewhere else. How can I delete all data associated with yakuake so I can reinstall it and have the default settings?

Look in your $HOME. ~/.yakuake, perhaps.

pacman -Ql yakuake

Will display all files in the package. It is likely, however, that the file you are looking for is a user config file either a 'dot file' in ~ or in ~/.config somewhere. The location should be listed in yakuake's man page.

I looked all through the list here:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … ake/files/
but there's not much else other than three default themes and some /locale stuff

These files are removed with 'pacman -Rns yakuake'. Run updatedb and search for stuff with 'yakuake' in the name.

pacman -Rsn doesn't remove files from /home

I know because I removed an app yesterday and the dotfiles are still there...

Yup, but are these files listed in 'pacman -Ql foo'?

The config is stored in the same place as all other kde apps

~/.kde4/share/config/yakuakerc

Edit: fixed typo

No. Ridiculous. pacman will never install anything to /home.

Who knows/cares? The package is gone.

My point remains, pacman doesn't fiddle with /home...

It worked! I deleted the directory and then reinstalled the package.

Thanks guys
