I'm having problems with an app working properly. Usually uninstalling then reinstalling software fixes issues (at least it did when I was still chained to the Giant!). I uninstalled it through the 'Software Manager' ( which I also used to install it).
The problems are persisting. I found multiple ways to uninstall apps using the terminal, but I don't know which is best or reliable. None of them address 'left over pieces of apps'. It looks like Zoom (and maybe Bleach Bit?) is not being completely uninstalled through the software manager. I thought of using some maintenance commands recommended in this thread. Operating System Maintenance, What is necessary? However, if this turns into a lot of work, I don't want to complicate things further.
I've included all information that I can think of that may be necessary to help me.
