IntelliJ – How to Uninstall IntelliJ Ultimate Edition Version 12

intellij

My evaluation licence has recently expired for IntelliJ Community edition version 12. I want to uninstall the application but do not have an option to in Ubuntu Software Centre.

I'm currently looking around my file system at what is installed as part of IntelliJ using a few guides related to Mac. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

_{*I genuinely thought I was using Ultimate edition when I posted this question. I subsequently bought a personal commercial licence. If your boss doesn't buy you a commercial one, getting a personal commercial one was worth it for me [as I like to contribute to what I use].}

To remove the product completely, do the following:

Delete the installation directory
Delete the "config" and "system" configuration directories. These contain IntelliJ IDEA's caches, configuration and plugins.

See http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-181 for the OS specific locations of these two directories.

That should be all you need.

Ubuntu – IntellIj Idea 2016.2 where to find him to uninstall

To uninstall it you have to look in your home directory. So open your terminal and:

cd ~
ls -a

There you should see directories called .intellij... folowed by the version number. To remove them simply do:

rm -r <direcory-name>

There should be, if JetBrains follows their own rules two of those directories called so, one for the program and one for settings.

For more comprehensive location information check out their documentation page about that.
