Remove Pycharm completely , Ubuntu

Question

I want to remove my old pycharm completely from my Ubuntu machine so my new installation will not be affected from previous settings. Any help will be appreciated

Answer 1

Maybe, is a little convenience to leave this hidden file for update "major" installation: for example, since PyCharm Community Edition 2.4 to 2.6, I found this in home directory: PyCharmCE2018.2; the installer suggests use (default) or ignore.

Answer 2

Try this

 sudo snap remove pycharm-professional pycharm-community
sudo apt-get autoclean 
sudo apt-get autoremove

Answer 3

open your terminal as common user

1. $rm -d -r ~/.PyCharm2019.3

run same command as root user

1. $sudo su
2. $rm -d -r ~/.PyCharm2019.3

note PyCharm2019.3 replaced with your PyCharm version

Answer 4

Incase if pycharm is installed using snap package then you could remove it by running following commands:

sudo snap remove [pycharm-professional|pycharm-community]
rm -rf ~/.PyCharm2017.3
rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs/jetbrains/pycharm/

replace .PyCharm2017.3 with your installed version.

Answer 5

sudo find / -name *PyCharm*

Delete all output directories.

For example:

$ sudo find / -name *PyCharm*
[sudo] password for MY_USERNAME:
/home/MY_USERNAME/.cache/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2020.1
/home/MY_USERNAME/.PyCharmCE2019.1
$ rm -rf /home/MY_USERNAME/.cache/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2020.1 /home/MY_USERNAME/.PyCharmCE2019.1
