I have trouble with WPS Office that I have to reinstall it, but I have problem with the old configuration that I make on WPS. I uninstalled WPS already with sudo apt remove --purge wps-office but, old config still remain after I reinstall it. It just can't be "Brand New" software. It kinda have restore setting that applied automatically.



What should I do to reinstall WPS into NEW NEW software?

    --purge removes system-wide configuration but leaves behind user-local settings. You'll have to manually get rid of the settings created by WPS in your home folder.

  • A 2013 forum post says ~/.kingsoft, ~/.local/share/data/Kingsoft, ~/.config/Kingsoft, and ~/.config/Software/Kingsoft.conf are generated by the software. You can try renaming or removing them to reset user settings.
