Question

I am trying to find a way to remove cabal/cabal-nirvana/yesod from my system, I did install cabal with

sudo apt-get install cabal-install

second I would like to remove cabal-nirvana which I installed with

cabal install cabal-nirvana

and finally remove yesod for which I used the command

cabal install yesod-platform

Currently I have seen to exist a /home/username/.cabal folder, I just want to have my machine as close to previous state as possible (before trying to install yesod), this means removing all these things installed.

There is a lot of information on the web about insallation, however this seems not to be true for the uninstallation process.

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

I guess what you’re looking for is:

sudo apt-get --purge remove 'package-name'

This should remove the package along with all the fluff, I’m presuming you’re using a Debian-based system.
