Ubuntu – How to remove Netflix-Desktop completely

firefoxnetflixwine

The script to install Netflix-Desktop downloaded everything needed except for Firefox. I keep trying to remove the program through "sudo apt-get remove –purge netflix-desktop". However, when I reinstall Netflix-desktop it runs through the script as if it's already downloaded everything. I've removed .wine-browser and /usr/share/netflix-desktop. When I have netflix-desktop installed, I can issue the command "netflix-desktop –showdebug" which will tell me that firefox.exe cannot be found.

Best Answer

On the install of ubuntu I'm using I don't have a full install but the person that answered before me is right, it is a PPA repository. On other installs of Ubuntu, and Ubuntu based distributions/flavors of Linux, this has successfully and totally removed the program and all remnants of it:

Run these commands one at a time:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ehoover/compholio
