[SOLVED] How to remove a deb installed by GDeb pkg installer?
by BW-userx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZDMH)
I got to messing around in unknown territory and downloaded minecraft.deb off a web sight and FireFox gave the option to use GDeb package installer to install it after download, so I did. now I cannot get it to uninstall using the cli.

E: Unable to locate package Minecraftit is in here because I can find it in the menus. it is the this version off this sight under Debian /Ubunututu

I found it in /opt my brain kicked (its early), and well it has a desktop file.. :D
Code:$ cat /usr/share/applications/minecraft-launcher.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Name=Minecraft Launcher
Comment=Official Minecraft Launcher
Exec=/opt/minecraft-launcher/minecraft-launcher
Path=/opt/minecraft-launcher
Icon=minecraft-launcher
Terminal=false
Categories=Game;Application;being this is MX Linux I do assume it is no different then all others when something gets put into /opt it can just be manually deleted and links if any to /usr/bin /bin need to be removed too.
