Hello all,
I installed Olympus through the instructions on the everest website (ie I downloaded the autobuild, unzipped the file, and then ran the install bash script).
I understand that this process installs Olympus and related files into a few locations on the drive, and wanted to know how to do a Clean uninstall. Uninstalling things like this w/o the help of a package manager can sometimes be a headache, because I don't want to accidentally "miss" any files while uninstalling.
Thank you in advance!

Edit: to be clear, I already uninstalled Everest and all of my mods through the Olympus application itself

just undo everything that install.sh does

#

and if you dont know bash, it still is really easy to deduce

#

it all boils down to olympus in .config and .local/share
and the .desktop file in your applications directory

ooookay so I think I understand what you're saying:
the files that need to be deleted are

~/.config/Olympus
~/.local/share/applications/Olympus.desktop
the initial "olympus install" location where I extracted the archive (.../dist)

does running Olympus itself create any files besides the files in ~/.config/Olympus (and obviously everest and leonn and stuff, which can be uninstalled through Olympus itself)?

sick, I sure hope that I uninstalled everything

#

An uninstall script would be pretty cool though :P
