I have crunchbang linux. Crunchbag is kind of a minimal distro, that requires alot of manual editing of menus and desktop settings. When I downloaded the the marketplace app it created no menu or desktop entry, so I can't use it, easily. How do I remove it? I don't remember the name of the app so it is just taking up space.

Hi, I don't know if you still have your problem uninstalling a marketplace app on linux, but I figured the "hard way" to remove an app.

Go to your home directory, look at the hidden files, you should see a directory like ".http;someapp".

Remove it. This step removes the application from your computer.

Then go to ~/.local/share/applications and remove the file that looks like your app. This will remove the launcher from your desktop / start menu / activity view depending on your distribution.

It looks like a dirty method but I haven't found another way yet
