How to remove ESP32 Board from Arduino IDE on a Linux (Mint) Computer

[Fran_iii]

How can I remove (uninstall or whatever) the ESP32 stuff from the Arduino on a Linux (Mint) computer?

I did something wrong when I set it up and need to start over.

I've spent days on this and posted numerous times for help but still it won't work.

I have got it to work on a second Linux Mint computer so I think I know what to do if I can just clean it off the first Linux Mint computer.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I believe you just need to delete the "packages/esp32/" folder
Problem is I don't remember exactly where it is as I use the "portable" option myself

I think it will be in your home folder in ".arduino" or ".config.arduino"


BTW - You may like to try the portable option yourself as it then keeps all settings, libraries etc. in the one folder and you can even have more than one instance of the Arduino IDE installed or easily copy it to another computer

You'll find everything in .arduino15/packages
