Can someone please tell me how I can completely uninstall IntelliJ from Debian? I followed this article but did not see anything under ~/. for IntelliJ (for superuser or regular user)



I want to reinstall and get the installation wizard, but I am not able to. When I delete the installation directory and try and reinstall, it just runs and doesn't show me the installation wizard, so something is lingering on somewhere!



Any help would be greatly appreciated.




debian intellij

  • @StephenKitt maybe "install wizard" is the wrong term, but there definitely was a wizard, and I exited it too soon, but among other things, it allowed for creation of desktop icons

    You need to run ls -a, ls won’t show directories starting with ..

To completely remove the preferences stored by IntelliJ, and thus see its setup wizard the next time you run it, remove the hidden directories it uses from your home directory:



rm -rf ~/.IdeaIC* ~/.IntelliJIdea* ~/.ideaLibSources

The folders starting with a '.' are hidden folders in Linux, meaning you need to add the flag -a (all) to ls to view them. Try this:



ls -la ~/


And you should find the folders starting with a dot created by IntelliJ on your home folder.



Also, if you installed it with a .deb or from a repo use the "purgue" option or apt to automatically remove the configuration files, which is what is being stored in that folder:



sudo apt purge intelliJ


You'll have to check the name of the package though, I don't know if it's called like that.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers.
