If there is an executable, say, '/usr/bin/eclipse', then running 'rpm -qf /usr/bin/eclipse' will tell you the name of the package that owns that RPM. You can then use that with the 'dnf remove ...'. Or if you want to bypass the middleman, you can run 'dnf remove /usr/bin/eclipse' and it will figure out what package owns '/usr/bin/eclipse' and remove it, and any packages that depend on it. The dnf command will also tell you if the executable isn't owned by an RPM, in that case, you need to figure out how it was installed. If you don't know the name of the executable, but see menu items for it, then most likely there is a Desktop file in /usr/share/applications/, so run 'grep -rl -i eclipse /usr/share/applications'. You can also use dnf to remove packages using those file paths. Now it is also possible you used Flatpak to install Eclipse, so run: 'flatpak list|grep -i eclipse' to see if it is one of the flatpaks you have installed. Flatpak has a remove function too, so you'd run: 'flatpak remove org.eclipse.Java'. (Assuming that's the flatpak you have installed) If it is a snap, someone else can tell you, I avoid those like the plague. -- Jonathan Billings <billings@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
