Unninstalling Julia from Ubuntu 20.04LTS

Question

I already tried rm -rf ~/.julia and even sudo apt-get remove julia , and still, whenever I type on Linux terminal julia the programming language "opens". I had 3 versions of Julia (had problems in installing too), they were 1.0.4, 1.5.2 and 0.4, right now there is only 1.0.4 left. Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

Start with type -p julia to see which path the remaining julia has.

If it is a known remaining package then

dpkg -S $(type -p julia)

will tell you the package name, and you can remove the package the usual way.

If it is not a package but something you installed directly from GitHub or julia.org then you may just have to rm -rf it (very carefully).
