Thank you for your article!

Many users turn away from Joplin after failed export attempts.

What has your experience with exporting been like?

Thank you for your response.

@Matthew,

To remove Joplin from Ubuntu or any Linux system, run:

$ sudo rm -r ~/.joplin
$ sudo rm -r ~/.config/joplin-desktop
$ sudo rm ~/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-joplin.desktop

Hello,

I know I am late to this thread. I was playing with Ubuntu and used the command line to install Joplin. Now I am trying to remove it but it is not listed on the apps. Do you know what command I may use to remove it via the terminal?

Thanks!

Ahhh! The old Love-It-Or-Leave-It reasoning. If you can’t praise it, don’t make any comments.

Unfortunately, that kind of thinking stifles progress.

They are optional, you are not forced to use them… just move on.

I use Joplin on a daily basis and works great for me.
