How can i uninstall QtCreator 2.6.1 from 12.04?

Question

I downloaded QtCreator 2.6.1 from the official website http://qt-project.org/downloads#qt-creator because i'm using ubuntu 12.04. Now i need to uninstall it. How can i do it?

• 64-bit Linux Installer

Solution 1

Run the QtCreator Maintenance program. If you accepted the default paths in the 2.6.1 installer, it's at /opt/Qt5.0.0/MaintenanceTool . The default option is Remove All Components.

Solution 2

I installed QtCreator from the default .run file distributed from the website. QtCreator is located on ~/Qt/ directory.

You'll see the MaintenanceTool executable there,

1. you have to run that on terminal
2. Login to your Qt Creator account
3. Select appropriate removal option --> For me it's remove all components.

here's how I tried

Solution 3

In the location where application is installed (default location: /opt/Qt5.0.0/) is a file named QtCreatorUninstaller. Run this executable in the terminal to uninstall QtCreator.

Solution 4

One way is to open Ubuntu Software Center and click on Installed tab and if you can see the QtCreator in the list then there you will find a button Remove, the second way is from terminal
sudo apt-get remove {package-name}

Ubuntu Software Center doesn't see QtCreator 2.6.1 neither apt-get remove does the job.

There is no such program in the path where app is installed.

Did you install the full SDK or the standalone QtCreator? I think only the SDK gives you the MaintenanceTool. (And did you uncheck any options during the install?) For the standalone, I think you can just remove the directories it setup.

+1 It worked for me although i used sudo apt-get remove qtcreator* to remove all related to qtcreator

This should be the accepted answer on modern computers.

Yes, I agree with @Startec I gave it an upvote. Just double click the "maintainance tool"
