How To Uninstall ProtonVPN

Question

I installed ProtonVPN from the proton site. I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the remaining pieces of the software. I've done the usual things:

1. Checked the ubuntu Store (not there)
2. Purged protonvpn (can't find)
3. apt remove protonvpn (can't find)
4. unhid files and searched in Files and deleted all the protonvpn remnants I could find.

Yet, I can still launch ProtonVPN from the desktop icon/application launcher

Any thoughts?

Solution

You downloaded a deb file. So it can't be in the store.

Proton describes it very clearly:

sudo apt-get install protonvpn

Later in the "notes" they write:

To uninstall the official app:

sudo apt-get autoremove protonvpn
#Remove any leftover files: 
rm -rf ~/.cache/protonvpn 
rm -rf ~/.config/protonvpn

Seems to be pretty straight forward. (RTFM)

How you remove software depends upon how you installed it. Your description "from the proton site" is too vague to offer advice. Please edit your question to clearly explain how you installed the software. More details are better.

they should write better software that follows standard uninstall
