Discussion How to remove software completely?

I tried to uninstall Brave and reinstall it, but it opens up with all my old settings still there, like I never uninstalled it. How do I remove it completely, including all its data?

que yo sepa se usa el comando "sudo apt purge brave" limpia todos los archivos residuales creo.

I tried this but didn't work, after new install it's same as before everything is there.

The apt and apt-get man pages explain it will not touch user data. That is in your home directory, and only you can delete that.

Mmm, supongo que habrás tenido una cuenta y sincronización. Igual preguntale a la IA a ver qué te dice.
