uninstall - How to fully remove the eclipse package?



I installed Eclipse via command apt-get install eclipse.



This command completed correctly.



After this, I run Eclipse and add some configurations: Added a new URL for "Available Software Sites".



On the next step, I try removed Eclipse via apt-get remove eclipse and install eclipse again.




And here I see a surprise: in the newly installed Eclipse, I see my old URL for "Available Software Sites".



So, I guess, that the configuration file(s) is not removed.



After this I tried different commands: something like this:



sudo dpkg -r eclipse
sudo apt-get --purge remove eclipse
sudo apt-get autoremove



But after I again install Eclipse I see my URL.



How I can fully remove Eclipse along with its configuration files?



Your personal configuration files are stored in your home directory.



Check ~/.eclipse/ or ~/.config/eclipse/




Note, these are hidden directories (Ctrl+H in Nautilus to show, or ls -la).
