Hi! I need to completely delete in terminal an app and all iits configuration files. I looked for them in $HOME/.config and $HOME/.local but didn't find where they are stored. So I need to know what is the command on Jolla for totally purge an app. Thanks.
I found this manpage but it doesn't mention the command I look for...

For Harbour apps, it should be $HOME/.local/share/harbour-appname. If your app is not from Harbour, there are no guarantees about where it might store data, though most of the time it's in the same place (i.e., $HOME/.local/share).
"pkcon remove packagename" would remove the installed package from your system, but I don't think it removes config files the app might have created under $HOME, so you may still have to remove them manually if you really want them gone.
I found config files where you told me. Fine thanks :-)

For Android apps, I discovered they're are stored into three different locations:
Apk /data/app Config /data/dalvik-cache App data (I mean, not user saved files) /data/data Some apps may store configuration file or cache into /data/sdcard
Unluckly I can't be more precise as I don't know how Android app packaging works.
