How to completely uninstall remove WebStorm IDE in Ubuntu

Question

How can I completely uninstall/remove JetBrains WebStorm IDE in Ubuntu? I already ran rm -rf ~/WebStorm-145.1616.9/ to remove the installation folder and rm -rf ~/.WebStorm2016.1/ to remove the config folder, but its not completely removed because the WebStorm icon still appears when I search for it in the Unity search bar.

Solution

Actually, all answers are for many years ago, for versions around the year 2020 you should go to the ~ and find .config and .cache folder and then delete your specific folder version inside JetBrains folder:

~/.config/JetBrains/<product><version>
~/.cache/JetBrains/<product><version>
