I followed this step mentioned by the app developer in readme note to uninstall it:

  1. To uninstall run /opt/xdman/uninstall.sh as root

I even rebooted to see if it disappears, but it didn't. I tried the solution mentioned in I can't use "remove" to uninstall xtreme download manager but it didn't work either.

Any help appreciated.

  • `sudo rm /usr/share/applications/xdman.desktop` ? – Liso May 18 '19 at 02:41
  • @Jim I did try that from reading the link I mentioned. It didn't work. It says, "No such file or directory" – Pranav May 18 '19 at 02:43
  • How did you install xdman ? Any tutorial you followed ? – Liso May 18 '19 at 02:44
  • @Jim i installed it by downloading a zip file from Sourceforge and extract it, saw "readme" file, read it and installed it. – Pranav May 18 '19 at 02:46
  • I would find the file, `sudo find / -type f -name "xdman.desktop"`. This will do a recursive search from `/` directory, which cover all possible folder. – Liso May 18 '19 at 03:03
  • I would check the zipfile and install/uninstall scripts to see if the .desktop file has a different name and/or gets installed to an unexpected location. – user535733 May 18 '19 at 03:04
  • @user535733 there is nothing much in zip file. Only install.sh and readme file. https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdman/files/xdm-2018-x64.tar.xz/download u can check it. – Pranav May 18 '19 at 03:09

The matter got solved after I searched in my Home directory by typing xdm.

Delete xdm.desktop and that's it.

  • There maybe some more xdm-related stuff in *~*, *~/.config* or *~/.local/share* as well you could remove. – DK Bose May 18 '19 at 04:05
  • @DKBose I see over 100's of the folder which includes configuration of all old application which I don't use it anymore. Is there a command to remove all old config/unwanted files. – Pranav May 18 '19 at 06:10

    I suggest you do the removal by hand so you'll be sure. Also, send the deleted files/folders to Trash rather than deleting them permanently. That way, if you make a mistake, you can simply restore the file/folder. – DK Bose May 18 '19 at 06:17
