which app-name
rm result-from-above

Then ask around about any other files which are related to that application. Good luck. Seriously, it used to be sort-of-possible to remove a sort-of package from Puppy, but who knows if it still works. Since the package installer is GUI-based, any underlying scripts which help to accomplish installation or de-installation are pretty lame on their own... Ask around about properly upgrading a package... Good luck. Since the base puppy is not really assembled using packages, it's hard to sanely remove a program or lib and all that is associated with it. Good luck.

You can start with the stripped-down Puppy (I forget what it's called at the moment) and add what you want to it.

Thanks for the answers. For example, I installed pwireless through console and it doesn't show up in package manager. I searched for it and there are several files in different folders. Should I just delete them? is this solution?

thanks again

I don't know. How large is Pwireless? If it's not very large I'd just forget about it.

# petget -SOMEPACKAGE.pet
# sfs_load -SOMEPACKAGE.sfs

But it seems another issue. Depends how you installed the package.

Code:
find /root/.packages -iname "*pwireless*.files" -exec cat {} \;

would show if there is a *pwireless*.files file which should contain all the /pathes/to/files.ext
petget had installed .
If you dont run as user root but as fido,spot or USERNAME you would need probably to replace '/root' with "$HOME" .

Another idea would be the find command with the -mtime NUMBER option , where NUMBER is 0*1*DAY

-mmin NUMBER for minutes
-ctime N change time
-cmin
-atime N access time
-amin

like
Code:
find /usr -mtime 0


Also the correct name of the pwireless.pet would be helpful .

If you still have the pwireless.pet stored somewhere you could transform the pet to tar.gz with the pet2tgz command like
Code:
mkdir /tmp/test
cd /tmp
cp /path/to/directory/pwireless.pet ./test
cd ./test
pet2tgz pwireless.pet
tar xzf pwireless.pet
ls -R ./*


ls -R would list everything inside the new created ./pwireless.version directory .

Strange, I thought I asked something very easy but it does not seem so. Apparently there is no command to uninstall an application in the console.

anyway thanks for all efforts
