Uninstalling Simply Fortran

Simply Fortran on GNU/Linux and various UNIX-like operating systems can be uninstalled in different ways depending on the package used during installation.

AppImage/*.tar.gz Installations

If you have installed Simply Fortran using a provided tar.gz file, then the application can be uninstalled by deleting the file SimplyFortran wherever you have decompressed the file.

Installations via Package Manager

If Simply Fortran was installed from a deb or rpm file, it can be uninstalled entirely using the same package manager. If you have access to a GUI listing installed software, searching for “simplyfortran” and selecting it for removal will suffice. Some help is provided below if a command line method is preferred:

Debian and Debian-based GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Linux Mint, etc.)

The Simply Fortran application can be completely removed by running:

apt-get remove simplyfortran-4

as root, or, if your account has superuser privileges:

sudo apt-get remove simplyfortran-4

The above command will remove any menu items or launcher mentions of Simply Fortran as well.

Fedora and Fedora-based GNU/Linux (RHEL, CentOS, Rocky Linux, etc.)

The Simply Fortran application can be completely removed by running:

dnf remove simplyfortran-4

as root, or, if your account has superuser privileges:

sudo dnf remove simplyfortran-4

The above command will remove any menu items or launcher mentions of Simply Fortran as well.

OpenSUSE

The Simply Fortran application can be completely removed by running:

zypper remove simplyfortran-4

as root, or, if your account has superuser privileges:

sudo zypper remove simplyfortran-4

The above command will remove any menu items or launcher mentions of Simply Fortran as well.

Simply Fortran will remove all program files, libraries, and support files when uninstalled. It leaves behind a small per-user configuration directory, .config/simplyfortran, in the user’s home directory containing settings only. Removing Simply Fortran will not remove any user’s Fortran source code.
