I installed Flatpak from this guide: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/ and I want to remove it now but this icon Icon image doesn't go and I can't remove it. Also, I can open that application. It's same with Ubuntu Software.

I tried these commands to remove flatpak:

flatpak uninstall --unused

sudo apt-get remove --autoremove flatpak

sudo apt-get purge flatpak

I restart my computer, I tried this commands to remove that application:

sudo apt-get remove gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

It said "gnome-software-plugin-flatpak" was not installed.

I also checked repositories and didn't see anything. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

  • Where do you find that icon ? In 20.04, the default interface to install apps is no longer Gnome software but Ubuntu's Snap store. What happens if you try to launch gnome-software from a terminal ? – Cosmin Saveanu Sep 21 '20 at 13:27
  • @CosminSaveanu Okay, thank you. The reason that I can't remove the application was I didn't know the package name. Thanks to you, gnome-software was the correct package name. Now I removed it easily. Thank you again. – anon Sep 21 '20 at 15:38

You want to remove gnome-software-center, which is the regular deb version of the software center.

sudo apt remove gnome-software-center

To revert to the default software center of Ubuntu 20.04, install snap-store back:

snap install snap-store
