NAME

       flatpak-uninstall - Uninstall an application or runtime

SYNOPSIS

       flatpak uninstall [OPTION...] [REF...]

DESCRIPTION

       Uninstalls an application or runtime.  REF is a reference to the application or runtime to uninstall.

       Each REF argument is a full or partial indentifier in the flatpak ref format, which looks like
       "(app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH". All elements except ID are optional and can be left out, including the
       slashes, so most of the time you need only specify ID. Any part left out will be matched against what is
       installed, and if there are multiple matches an error message will list the alternatives.

       By default this looks for both installed apps and runtimes with the given REF, but you can limit this by
       using the --app or --runtime option, or by supplying the initial element in the REF.

       Normally, this command removes the ref for this application/runtime from the local OSTree repository and
       purges any objects that are no longer needed to free up disk space. If the same application is later
       reinstalled, the objects will be pulled from the remote repository again. The --keep-ref option can be
       used to prevent this.

       If all branches of the application/runtime are removed, this command also purges the data directory for
       the application.

       Unless overridden with the --system, --user, or --installation options, this command searches both the
       system-wide installation and the per-user one for REF and errors out if it exists in more than one.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -h, --help
           Show help options and exit.

       --keep-ref
           Keep the ref for the application and the objects belonging to it in the local repository.

       --user
           Uninstalls from a per-user installation.

       --system
           Uninstalls from the default system-wide installation.

       --installation=NAME
           Uninstalls from a system-wide installation specified by NAME among those defined in
           /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using --installation=default is equivalent to using --system.

       --arch=ARCH
           The architecture to uninstall, instead of the architecture of the host system.

       --all
           Remove all refs on the system.

       --unused
           Remove unused refs on the system.

       -y, --assumeyes
           Automatically answer yes to all questions. This is useful for automation.

       --app
           Only look for an app with the given name.

       --runtime
           Only look for a runtime with the given name.

       --no-related
           Don't uninstall related extensions, such as the locale data.

       --force-remove
           Remove files even if they're in use by a running application.

       -v, --verbose
           Print debug information during command processing.

       --ostree-verbose
           Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
