If you are new to Linux, this blog post will guide you on how to delete applications on /opt file system.
Long story short, /opt is an older Linux file system that was more used in the past to install add-on application software packages.
Do you have an annoying application and want to delete it but it has been impossible to completely remove it from your machine? This blog post will help you out.
I personally faced that problem myself when I tried to uninstall Reaper from my Linux machine. I tried all the up-to-date terminal removal coding queries however, nothing worked. I did an extensive research on the issue in which I managed to find a solution for it.
The following steps will help you delete Reaper or any other application that is located in the /opt file system:
- Open terminal.
- Type: nautilus /opt
- Click on the Reaper folder or any other application that you want to remove.
- Run the uninstall script inside the Reaper file folder. If another application does not have an uninstall script, then delete the complete file.
There you have it. You are finally able to remove applications from your Linux /opt operational file system.
