Tried standard methods. Nothing I've tried seems to work. Stremio is not loading anything, that's usually do to having a full cache so I am attempting to reinstall and cleanse that cache but it always installs with everything still there.
#uninstalling stremio

I’ve never used that program, but is it possible it uses/sources from a cache independent of pacman?
Or by “not loading anything” do you mean that the program won’t start at all?

So it's installing fine but it's keeping all of my login credentials and information despite my attempts to delete everything.

Right, so it probably uses a cache independent of what you’re clearing in the above screenshot (which is just pacman)
inner root
I see.
How would I go about fixing that?

I would investigate the directories the package installation creates as listed here for any remnant configuration/other files that weren’t removed in uninstallation
If there’s nothing there you could try your home directory or use find
One thing is for certain though, if you’re sure that your credentials or other data is persisting despite uninstallation and pacman cache cleansing – then there are remnant cache/configuration files somewhere on your system that need to be found

I see.
How would I go about fixing that?
Can you provide the output of this command
env | grep -i stremio
twilit plank
sudo tree / | grep stremio
then, if results pop up,
sudo find / -name (whatever result)
royal goblet
sudo pacman -S tree && sudo tree / | grep stremio
inner root
royal goblet
Yeah so based on that user’s advice you can now use find to investigate those directories/files
For example: sudo find / -name '*stremio*'
However I think it’s also possible for configuration/data files to be arbitrarily stored without the package name (i.e. ‘stremio’) in its title, which means that method won’t necessarily work, give it a try though

Had you previously installed it with Flatpak?
inner root
I tried installing the Flatpak version to see if that would fix the issue. It was a different instance but didn't work.
Didn't have anything remembered but the app didn't work as intended

Either way the YAY cache isn’t being cleared, so you can try deleting that folder entirely (yay/stremio-beta)
If that doesn’t work (and regardless, you’re trying to fully uninstall this software) I would delete everything on this list pertaining to the package
inner root
Got it
