[MichMich]

Sorry, I don’t have any experience with openCV

@feuerball why do you want to reinstall it?

[KirAsh4]

If it was installed using apt-get, you can remove it the same way, 'apt-get remove --purge <package-name>'. If you compiled the binaries yourself, you can simply do it again and overwrite the previous ones.

However, a better question is, why do you want to do that?

@KirAsh4 why apt-get remove --purge shouldn’t apt-get purge do the same?

[KirAsh4]

remove - Packages installed are removed (Does NOT include configuration files)
purge - Purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged. Purge meaning that any configuration files are deleted too.

Generally, I follow that with 'apt-get autoremove' as well. Often when you remove one package, there are other dependencies that aren’t needed anymore. The 'autoremove' takes care of that.

And yes, I suppose simply 'purge' would get the job done, but there are times I only want to remove the binaries, but leave my config files in place. I prefer forcing myself to actually add the '--purge' bit each time … sort of a mental check.

maybe i can upload my config here for some correctioN?
