-# uninstall_joplin_linux
+# Joplin Uninstall Script for Linux
 
+This is an unofficial uninstallation script for the **Joplin Desktop Application** on Linux. 
+
+## Description
+The official Joplin installation method uses a shell script (`Joplin_install_and_update.sh`) that downloads the AppImage and sets up desktop integration. However, there is no official "uninstall" script provided by the developers.
+
+This utility fills that gap by cleanly removing the application binaries, the desktop entry, and the application icon from your system.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Download the script** or create a file named `uninstall_joplin.sh` and paste the code into it.
+2. **Make the script executable**:
+   ```bash
+   chmod +x uninstall_joplin.sh
+   ```
+3. **Run the script**:
+   ```bash
+   ./uninstall_joplin.sh
+   ```
+
+## What this script removes
+The script targets the default paths used by the official installation script:
+- **Application Folder:** `~/.joplin` (Contains the AppImage and version info)
+- **Desktop Entry:** `~/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-joplin.desktop` (Removes Joplin from your app menu)
+- **Application Icon:** `~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/joplin.png`
+
+## Important: User Data & Settings
+**This script does NOT delete your notes or configuration.** 
+
+To ensure that users do not accidentally lose their data, the following directories are **preserved**:
+- `~/.config/joplin`
+- `~/.config/joplin-desktop`
+
+If you wish to perform a complete "factory reset" and delete all your local notes and settings, you can manually run:
+```bash
+rm -rf ~/.config/joplin ~/.config/joplin-desktop
+```
+
+## Disclaimer
+This script is **not** officially affiliated with the Joplin project. Use it at your own risk. Always make sure to have a backup of your notes before performing system cleanups.
