# 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.
