BleachBit

Uninstalled Apps Still Showing up (Librewolf & Discord)

Asked by Emanuel S. Qeryo

Like 2 Months ago I had Librewolf installed, I uninstalled it, removed ~/.librewolf and some files from .local and .config, but on bleachbit the section still shows up.
I checked the xml file in the github (bleachbit / cleaners / librewolf.xml) and I don't see any of the folders on my device, I just gave up and kept it.

Now a week ago I uninstalled discord, it's still there, am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: I made an bug report https://github.com/bleachbit/bleachbit/issues/1954 and it turns out if you uncheck them then restart the app then they will disappear

What does this command show?

sudo find ~/.cache/librewolf ~/.librewolf /root/.librewolfe /root/.cache/librewolf

find: ‘/home/esq/.cache/librewolf’: No such file or directory
find: ‘/home/esq/.librewolf’: No such file or directory
find: ‘/root/.librewolfe’: No such file or directory
find: ‘/root/.cache/librewolf’: No such file or directory

I don't think it's a root thing, it's probably in ~ somewhere, cuz when running bleachbit with sudo none of the 2 show up

Can you give samples of the file names listed by bleachbit?

What output do you get for

find / -iname \*librewolf\* 2>/dev/null

/usr/share/bleachbit/cleaners/librewolf.xml
/usr/lib/librewolf

the .var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community folder always gets recreated when I remove it, do I remove all of these? (not including /usr/share/bleachbit/cleaners)

You write that you have uninstalled librewolf, but the output still shows a file or directory /usr/lib/librewolf.
That does not fit together.

What is the output of

ls -l /usr/lib/librewolf
file /usr/lib/librewolf

drwxr-xr-x - root 10 Nov 14:07  native-messaging-hosts
/usr/lib/librewolf: directory

I used -Rns to remove librewolf and discord, Ididn't know you could use find to look for files, I tried once to use grep and I gave up cuz took a long time

EDIT: checked the folder, only thing is /usr/lib/librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json which is plasma integration thing

If you do not need and want librewolf any more, then you might consider deleting that directory with its contents.
