How to remove games?

Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:17 pm

Found Minecraft and removed it. Found also Python Games but will keep them for reference. However, I can't seem to find the other games in the games folder of the menu. The add/remove software program doesn't have them (or I'm unable finding them). apt search doesn't give anything on 'bunner' et al.

So, how to look for these things? The complete list of available software is far too large to scroll through it.

If you are referring to the 5 Code the Classics games then they can be installed / uninstalled with the Recommended Software app in:
[Menu] --> [Preferences].
All 5 games will be installed / uninstalled as a single package. (The package name is code-the-classics).
If installed you should see them in the games menu.

FYI - Synaptic is a much better Package Manager. You can search installed packages etc.

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install synaptic
