  • While useful I explicitly asked about ways without uninstalling that app or flatpak? and uninstalling usually never refers to deleting folders. Commented Oct 6, 2022 at 12:15

    @mYnDstrEAm "and uninstalling usually never refers to deleting folders" <- to be honest, this site sort of requires people to give an ELI5 explanation due to the fact that one might be talking to a user who's new to Linux or similar. I get that you're a power-user, but not everyone is. Anyway, you could try to see if flatpak repair --user might sort your issue. If that doesn't work, then the files inside shouldn't be touched, unless you don't care if you break something. Commented Oct 6, 2022 at 12:30
  • That command is useful but it didn't solve the problem. Maybe the app is supposed to require this much disk space, I'll try to find out. Agree that things here should be user-friendly, it was explicitly not the topic of the question and people looking for uninstalling probably search for how to uninstall flatpak apps, not for what I asked about, but maybe I should have added it...would be best suited as a comment, not an answer.

  • I just uninstalled it. The app took up half the size and the SDK (edited the question) the other half. I don't know how to check if it's supposed to be this large. The uninstall command is already in the question so even newcomers who intend to uninstall would learn about that. Commented Oct 6, 2022 at 13:53
