NAME
       flatpak-uninstall - Uninstall an application or runtime

SYNOPSIS
       flatpak uninstall [OPTION...] [REF...]

DESCRIPTION
       Uninstalls an application or runtime.  REF is a reference to the
       application or runtime to uninstall.

       Each REF argument is a full or partial identifier in the flatpak ref
       format, which looks like "(app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH". All elements
       except ID are optional and can be left out, including the slashes, so
       most of the time you need only specify ID. Any part left out will be
       matched against what is installed, and if there are multiple matches
       you will be prompted to choose between them. You will also be prompted
       if REF doesn't match any installed ref exactly but is similar (e.g.
       "gedit" is similar to "org.gnome.gedit"), but this fuzzy matching
       behavior is disabled if REF contains any slashes or periods.

       By default this looks for both installed apps and runtimes with the
       given REF, but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime
       option, or by supplying the initial element in the REF.

       Normally, this command removes the ref for this application/runtime
       from the local OSTree repository and purges any objects that are no
       longer needed to free up disk space. If the same application is later
       reinstalled, the objects will be pulled from the remote repository
       again. The --keep-ref option can be used to prevent this.

       When --delete-data is specified while removing an app, its data
       directory in ~/.var/app and any permissions it might have are removed.
       When --delete-data is used without a REF, all 'unowned' app data is
       removed.

       Unless overridden with the --system, --user, or --installation options,
       this command searches both the system-wide installation and the
       per-user one for REF and errors out if it exists in more than one.

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

       -h, --help
           Show help options and exit.

       --keep-ref
           Keep the ref for the application and the objects belonging to it in
           the local repository.

       -u, --user
           Uninstalls from a per-user installation.

       --system
           Uninstalls from the default system-wide installation.

       --installation=NAME
           Uninstalls from a system-wide installation specified by NAME among
           those defined in /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using
           --installation=default is equivalent to using --system.

       --arch=ARCH
           The architecture to uninstall, instead of the architecture of the
           host system. See flatpak --supported-arches for architectures
           supported by the host.

       --all
           Remove all refs on the system.

       --unused
           Remove unused refs on the system.

       -y, --assumeyes
           Automatically answer yes to all questions. This is useful for
           automation.

       --noninteractive
           Produce minimal output and avoid most questions. This is suitable
           for use in non-interactive situations, e.g. in a build script.

       --app
           Only look for an app with the given name.

       --runtime
           Only look for a runtime with the given name.

       --no-related
           Don't uninstall related extensions, such as the locale data.

       --force-remove
           Remove files even if they're in use by a running application.

       --delete-data
           Remove app data in ~/.var/app and in the permission store.

       -v, --verbose
           Print debug information during command processing.

       --ostree-verbose
           Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
