Problem in deleting software/package

[satimis]

Hi all folks,

RH8.0
Sylpheed-claws
=============

I tried to remove "sylpheed-claws" from RH8.0. It was installed from tarball and placed under

/home/user/.sylpheed

I deleted its folder including files on Konqueror "Home". But it can still be started.

As ROOT
# locate sylpheed

/home/user/.sylpheed
/home/user/.sylpheed/
........
.........

It was still there but disappeared on Konqueror

Neither could I
# rm /home/user/.sylpheed
rm: cannot lstat `/home/satimis/.sylpheed': No such file or directory

# cd /home/satimis/.sylpheed
-bash: cd: /home/satimis/.sylpheed: No such file or directory

Kindly advise how to erase it. Why it was not shown up on Konqueror (Show hidden files already ON)

Thanks in advance.

when you do ls -al /home/user does it show up?

The locate database is only as up to date as the last time 'updatedb' was run.

As root, run

updatedb

wait a minute or two until it finishes and then

locate sylpheed

Hi all,

Ah, I forgot to run updatedb. Reboot PC did not help to update database.

Also I overlooked to erase

/root/.sylpheed/

That was why sylpheed still could be started.

Thanks
