my copy of Vivaldi seems to be terminally broken but everything i have tried to remove doesn’t work. after using the scudo purge it is still in my start menu and it stills boots up in a broken state
what do i do to remove completely and try a fresh install
Ok i got it fixed I just need to remove vivaldi and clear the local cache.
Please include name of your distribution.
sudo apt purge vivaldi-stable
Then, as yourself (not root):
rm -rf ${HOME}/.cache/vivaldi ${HOME}/.config/vivaldi
That removes the package, and your personal stored config and cache of the browser. NOTE: rm -rf is permanent without a backup or snapshot to restore from. Don’t delete these unless you are certain you want to.
From what did you install deb package, flatpak or snap.
Are you sure the deb didn’t quietly install a snap package? The last time I tried, it tried to wget a .snap from api.snapcraft.io.
Do you have synaptic in your applications?
Vivaldi is malware confirmed
