卸载 CLion

The proper way to remove CLion depends on the method you used to install it.

1. Uninstall a standalone instance

If you are running a standalone CLion instance, the default IDE directories are preserved when you remove your instance in case you want to keep your settings for later or to use them with another instance, another version, or another IDE. You can remove those directories if you are sure you won’t need them.

stand alone ['stændəˌləʊn]：n. 脱机 adj. 单独的，独立的

1. Delete the installation directory.

rm -rf clion-2019.1.4/
