Scenario:

I have installed netbeans 16 IDE on Debian 10 and now I want to remove it, but in the installation directory uninstall.sh is not present. Notice I have installed netbeans 16 trought .deb package downloaded by official netbeans site.

I tried to look for uninstall.sh script:

sudo find /netbens_directory_installation -name uninstall.sh

but no match found.

In the readme file and documentation is written that it exists and it is necessary to uninstall netbeans 16, but I don't find it.

  • If you installed with `dpkg`, also use `dpkg` to remove. See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/195794/how-to-uninstall-a-deb-installed-with-dpkg or https://askubuntu.com/questions/22200/how-to-uninstall-a-deb-package – Robert Feb 21 '23 at 22:22

It's easy to solve with a few commands:

dpkg -l *pache-netb*

This command will show packages installed with the dpkg tool

Then, you get the name of the package you want to remove. In my case "apache.netbeans". Now you run the last command:

dpkg -P netbeans

And now IDE Netbeans 16 doesn't exist anymore.
