I installed Eclipse via command apt-get install
eclipse.
this command completed correct.
After this I run eclipse add some configurations: Added new url for "Available Software Sites".
On the next step I try removed Eclipse via apt-get remove
eclipse.
and install eclipse again.
And here I see surprise: in new installed eclipse I see my old url for "Available Software Sites".
So, I guess, that configuration files not removed!
After this I tried different commands: something like this:
sudo dpkg -r eclipse
sudo apt-get --purge remove eclipse
sudo apt-get autoremove
but after I again install Eclipse I see my Url.
So, How I can fully remove eclipse with configuration files???
