Ubuntu – Completely Uninstall Pycharm 3.4 from Ubuntu 14.04

ideuninstall

I am using Pycharm 3.4 community edition which does not upgrade to the latest version of the IDE. I want to completely uninstall Pycharm 3.4 and reinstall 4.x.x version. I installed it form .tar.gz file. Which directory is to be deleted for uninstalling pycharm without harming the current projects?

You are right, there are only two things to do:

  • Delete the pycharm-community-3.4.X folder (installation files) that you extracted from the .tar.gz
  • Delete the ~/.PyCharm30 folder (configuration files)

You can see here that PyCharm doesn't put any more files than that in your system.
