So I recently tried Mailspring, and decided it was not for me. So i found it on the menu, right clicked and selected uninstall (Mint Cinnamon).
Now I am concerned if all files and cache have been deleted. I then ran “apt remove mailspring” ( My firt stime typing my own command on the terminal by memory!!! - i feel so nerdy in a good way!!). Anyway, that could not locate package.
Should I be concerned of it having left any files behind, or am I safe to assume that all files have been deleted?
The reason why I am asking is, that the program (mailspring) was running when I deleted it though the menu and kept running after deletion! I just couldn’t find it on the menu any longer.
If you do use apt or dpkg without purge it will possibly leave configuration files there after removing. You can use
dpkg -l|grep rcand then search for entries with rc in the first column at the left. But I guess that Linux Mint did use Flatpak and not apt to install Mailspring. In that case the Mailspring app would be gone completely.Thank you!
