How to uninstall tl-ubuntu?
I tried installing tl-ubuntu
, and now I would like to remove it.
Is there an option in the script? Or else, which files and directories need to be manually removed? Which system files have been changed, and need to be changed back?
Thank you.
There is no automatic way to uninstall. Next time I take a look at this script (in a few months), I will make an effort to document how one might manually uninstall.
For a start,
- remove
/opt/texbin
from/etc/environment
-
rm -rf /opt/texbin
-
apt-get remove texlive-local
not sure this is all but I hope this helps.
@gadmm thank you for that, but I've only managed to free 54MB following your instructions.. is there anything else you might suggest to completely uninstall this? thanks.
EDIT: Just realised you can sudo apt-get purge texlive
and then sudo apt-get autoremove
and also sudo apt-get clean
and it helps a lot
@brecke what does the following command show to you?
du -sh /usr/local/texlive/
Thanks for the tip, I just removed it :)
