I installed barrier from source on ubuntu. How do I uninstall it?
Can't find any help anywhere.

Steps to reproduce bug

Install and then figure how you should uninstall

I tried all the steps that was suggested in another issue that is now closed but none of them worked. and wonder why the issue was closed because it was not resolved.

I noticed that from the custom build and install, it installs into /usr/local dir. Did you try deleting the barrier from /usr/local dir?

I have same problem. Yes, we could manually delete if we had full list of files.

But I guess the clean way would be to add an uninstall target as mentioned in this duplicate https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/394

List of files found:

/usr/local/bin/barrier
/usr/local/bin/barrierc
/usr/local/bin/barriers
/usr/local/share/applications/barrier.desktop

Deleting manually is the way for now. As this seems to be an issue, I will open a issue addressing an addition of a uninstall CMake target.

We already build deb package on Debian-based distributions almost by default. We should document that make install is not recommended. The uninstall target will always become out of date as no one tests it, so just disallowing it we free ourselves of a lot of maintenance effort.
