Can`t remove git clone apps

i cant remove evillimiter. i got form github , and typed … git clone GitHub - bitbrute/evillimiter: Tool that monitors, analyzes and limits the bandwidth of devices on the local network without administrative access. , and i was tried to remove this or uninstall but i cant fix , and i tried with ALT + . for hidden files then i found evillimiter and removed , but i can still access , i dont know how to remove evillimiter , or any git clone apps . so anyone help me.

Typically it is sufficient to just delete the directory in which the git repo was cloned.

This is, of course, unless you’ve ran some install script with root privileges, in which case you’ll have to hunt down all the files and delete them manually.

EDIT:
Since this program uses setup.py to install your program, you can probably list all the files with the command:

python setup.py install --record files.txt

Then delete all these files. Not sure if it will work in this specific case.

This is why you use a package manager to install software, much less hassle that way.

Welcome! :smile:

Next time when you want to install something, use either pacman (for official packages only) or yay (both official and AUR packages).

For example, evillimiter can be installed with

yay -S evillimiter

and it is easy to uninstall with yay as well (yay -R package-name).

To search packages on the command line, you can use command

pacman -Ss word(s)         # official
yay -Ss word(s)            # AUR

You can also look at AUR packages here and official packages here.

ok thanks, - Could not delete file /home/hello-nahian/.local/share/Trash/files/files name , how to fix this one?

Maybe you don’t have permissions?
To see the file permissions, use command

ls -la /home/hello-nahian/.local/share/Trash/files/

ls -la /home/hello-nahian/.local/share/Trash/files/  :heavy_check_mark:  21s 

now?

Hard to read your text here because of the special characters …

Run this line only:

  sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/*

It does the same thing as the previous command line.

yes same as previous

So it is OK now?

thanks , it seems like deleted all my file that i can`t remove
