I don't know phpstorm specifically, but I can give you some generic instructions. You usually can't uninstall files installed without your package manager by just deleting the directory you extracted, though this often is actually true of Java based archives. How can I completely remove Phpstorm from Ubuntu, and start again from scratch? What files do I need to remove that are specific to this software? The Phpstorm forums do not actually contain any docs or other people with the same issue. Now, I'm stuck with the issue described above.

I decided that I had installed it in the wrong location, so I ran the following to remove it: rm -rf ~/Downloads/phpstorm-version-whatever Downloading the tar.gz file to my ~/Downloads dir and extracted in the same dir.I 'installed' Phpstorm on Ubuntu 13.04 by doing the following: After removing the Phpstorm directory from Ubuntu, future installation attempts do not actually install any more - no menu item appears under Applications in the top left, and running the 'globally created executable (I presume the one added in /usr/bin?) just runs the installation again.Ĭlearly there are some files hanging over that I need to get rid of, but I don't know which ones.
