data aren't wiped when using sudo apt purge PACKAGE -y
by funkypunkypinkypow from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B0RH)
as the title says, I had Google Chrome stuck at deleting history, so I did
Code:sudo apt-get purge google-chrome** && sudo apt-get autoremove -ybut when reinstalling Google Chrome
Code:sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deball data are still there, cache, gmail... etc
I thought it was only Google Chrome but Mozilla Firefox as well, even when doing sudo apt purge firefox and then sudo apt install firefox all data are still there
why is that? and how do I fix it?
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
