that's where understanding dependency management is coming in, but the short of it is, if you installed via the app center, then you should remove the same way
as for running appimages: I would need to read up on that myself, but my incomplete understanding is -it's different from installing, -most modern file managers should recognize the .AppImage extension and offer a dialog to run the file when clicked -there may or may not be a new menu entry for the new software, if there isn't, the next easy solution is a link on the desktop explaining how you would get the expected result with apt, and why, would take a fair bit longer, but the 'main' package you would want to remove, could be linphone-desktop, and removing dependencies originally installed with other packages, and that nothing depends on anymore, is done with apt autoremove. purge doesn't deal with dependecies, but removes (some) configs that otherwise, would be kept and used should you re-install. If man is installed, then man apt should give you a primer On June 17, 2025 8:50:39 PM GMT+01:00, Barry Hohstadt <barryhohst...@gmail.com> wrote: >Update: I uninstalled version 5.2.0 - *apt uninstall linphone* and *apt >purge linphone*.
