Hello! I just installed MakeMKV via the steps that are provided here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224

Everything works fine so far, but can please somebody let me know the steps in terminal if I want to properly remove/uninstall MakeMKV one day?

How can I do that properly without breaking my system? I'm on Debian 12.1 bookworm and I built the package with make and make install like described in that thread linked above.


I appreciate your answer
kind regards!

Older versions of MakeMKV/Debian supported the flowing:
CD to a DIR where you compiled the MakeMKV....

Code: Select all

cd ~/makemkv-bin-1.17.8
sudo make uninstall

cd ~/makemkv-oss-1.17.8
sudo make uninstall
#OR

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -r makemkv_v1.17.8_oss
sudo dpkg -r makemkv_v1.17.8_bin

I guess that MakeMKV installs 5 BIN files, so doing

Code: Select all

sudo rm /usr/bin/makemkv;
sudo rm /usr/bin/makemkvcon;
sudo rm /usr/bin/mmccextr;
sudo rm /usr/bin/mmgplsrv;
sudo rm /usr/bin/sdftool;
sudo rm -r /usr/share/MakeMKV;
rm -r ~/.MakeMKV
may be sufficient ...?

thanks a lot for ur reply, I checked every now and then for answers but didnt think there will come an answer anymore :)
But in the meantime I switched from the binary install to the flatpak and couldnt be happier.. works pretty fine and always the newest version automatically :)
thank you anyway and have a great day!
