How do I properly uninstall a previous CubeIDE version in Linux?

[m4l490n]

Hello

I just want to know how to properly uninstall a previous version of the CubeIDE in linux. Do I just delete the folder?

Hi m4l490n,

Basically it depends on how you've installed it, using native (deb_bundle.sh, rpm_bundle.sh) or generic installer script (.sh).

Generic installer script

Execute uninstall.sh from the STM32CubeIDE installation folder

Native installation

Usual package manager commands used to remove software.

Debian:

sudo dpkg -r st-stm32cubeide-<version>
sudo dpkg -r st-stlink-server
sudo dpkg -r st-stlink-udev-rules
sudo dpkg -r segger-jlink-udev-rules

RPM:

sudo rpm -e st-stm32cubeide_<version>
sudo rpm -e st-stlink-server
sudo rpm -e st-stlink-udev-rules
sudo rpm -e segger-jlink-udev-rules

Additional folders

# Temp data
rm -rf $HOME/.eclipse
rm -rf $HOME/.stm32cubeide
rm -rf $HOME/.stm32cubemx
rm -rf $HOME/.stmcube
rm -rf $HOME/.stmcufinder
 
# /!\ BE CAREFUL FOR THOSE FOLDERS /!\
# they are the default locations of projects and FW packages.
rm -rf $HOME/STM32CubeIDE
rm -rf $HOME/STM32Cube

Here is a little improvement on this response that worked nicely for me.

 

rm -rf $HOME/st/
rm -rf $HOME/.eclipse
rm -rf $HOME/.stm32cubeide
rm -rf $HOME/.stm32cubemx
rm -rf $HOME/.stmcube
rm -rf $HOME/.stmcufinder
rm -rf $HOME/STM32CubeIDE
rm -rf $HOME/STM32Cube
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/STM32CubeIDE
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/{mime/packages,applications}/*stm32*

sudo rm -rf /opt/st/
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/applications/st-stm32cubeide*

# Rebuild your local MIME database:
update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime

# Rebuild your desktop entry cache:
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

I have followed stricly above listed commands. Old version of CubeIDE is de-installed.

When I am executing  installation script of new version after accepting the licence I am getting info Nothing to be installed.

Any help ?

Definitively some settings were left out. The IDE was still with the dark theme after reinstalling it.

Hi, I found this folder that isn't mentioned in the solution: ~/your_user/.local/share/STM32CubeIDE
