How to uninstall Ubuntu One?

  • 772

I've looked in the Software Center, and there is an entry under Accessories for Ubuntu One, but I'm not sure if that'll actually remove Ubuntu One. On Ubuntu One's website, it gives a bunch of terminal commands to remove it, so should I use those or use the entry in the Software Center?

The reason I'm trying to remove Ubuntu One is because its sync doesn't work with my comp for some reason. It keeps saying that its trying to sync files in the client window, then it stops with the red X next to it after a few seconds. If Ubuntu One is this useless, I see no use for having it on my computer.

  1. Ubuntu One is spread over many packages. You can remove them by running the following command in a terminal:

    sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone* python-ubuntuone-storage*

    I removed it through the Software Center and haven't had any problems since. I'm not sure if its completely removed, but it doesn't show up anywhere I see on my computer (not even the messaging menu). The Ubuntu One folder in my Documents was still there though so I had to remove that.

  3. To completely remove Ubuntu One, just close U1 services and type this on your console (ctrl + alt + t)

    sudo rm -rf ~/.share/local/ubuntuone
rm -rf ~/.cache/ubuntuone
rm -rf ~/.config/ubuntuone
mv ~/Ubuntu\ One/ ~/Ubuntu\ One_old/
Open Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys, go to the Passwords tab, delete the Ubuntu One token
sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone*

    This will remove Ubuntu One and all of its settings, and move your files to a folder called Ubuntu One_old in your home directory!
