I'm trying to completely uninstall AnyDesk, but it's not working. Just simply removing it from KDE Discover doesn't work since if I install it, then it still remembered past things I did in it.

Let me show you.

I have installed AnyDesk from KDE Discover as can be seen here:

AnyDesk on KDE Discover

And here you can see my favourites and sessions are loaded:

AnyDesk on SteamOS

I then click on the "Remove" button in KDE Discover:

And I also click on the button to delete settings and user data:

Delete user settings and user data on AnyDesk KDE Discover

But this still keeps data of AnyDesk, because if I install it again, I still see my favourites, recent sessions, and my AnyDesk Address is still the same also:

So it's clear that the Remove button in KDE Discover is actually broken and doesn't work properly since it doesn't completely remove the app.

How can I completely uninstall and remove AnyDesk?

    no, that is not clear. Discover's uninstall button is not what is broken. What is broken is that AnyDesk's flatpak doesn't correctly label its settings storage as such, so that the flatpak infrastructure can't know where it's kept. You will have to discuss this with the Anydesk flatpak packaging developers, tbh. (Which might be separate people from the company that makes anydesk.) Commented Oct 26 at 11:04

    (AnyDesk's flatpak packagers might have gone with the principle of "we don't know exactly what the user considers ephemeral settings and what they consider valuable documents, let's err on the safe side and not delete" – hard call to make; in an admin context, my favorite editor might be a setting I'm OK to delete, but the list of PCs I've been administrating might be a document that's pretty holy and should never be deleted hen uninstalling software. A judgement call–and someone might simply disagree with you on that; see the discussion here.) Commented Oct 26 at 11:19
  • So how would I completely delete and remove it? Commented Oct 26 at 12:27
  • I'm afraid I can't tell you: I can only point to the discussion I've linked to above. Commented Oct 26 at 13:58
