Uninstall COMPLETELY: 1. MacOS and 2. Linux Mint

Hi, first of all, I LOVE what you’re doing with Joplin. Keep it up!

However, I am a dummy and messed things up a bit and would like to start over COMPLETELY from a clean slate.

MacOS
When I drag and drop the Joplin app in the trash, it uninstalls the app.
However, when I install the app again, all of my previous settings are still there.
How do I COMPLETELY uninstall everything, including those old settings?

Linux Mint
I am a noob with linux. How do I uninstall Joplin?

Thanks so much!

Hi, and welcome here. To remove your profile completely, you need to delete ~/.config/joplin-desktop

I’m not sure if uninstall will remove ~/.config/Joplin (note: capital J). If not, this need to be removed as well.

just coming back to this topic -- as a Mac user, I looked at these directions and was confused -- there is no .config folder I could find on the Mac...

thank you

@asbefore welcome to the forum.

I am not a mac user but I believe that it is similar to Linux. The .config folder should be located in your home folder (~) and as its name starts with a "." it will be hidden. You will have to get your file manager to show hidden files / folders or use ls -a ~ in a terminal (or cd ~/.config to move there).
