What's the proper way to uninstall a program that I installed with Yast?

English Applications

I downloaded this application (Show network:im:signal / signal-desktop - openSUSE Build Service) as a .ymp file and installed it. Now I need to uninstall it. Zypper says there’s no provider for “Signal” or “network:im:signal” (the name of the program), and “Software” goes back and forth between confirming whether or not it recognizes that it’s even installed on the system…so I’m more confused than when I started.

The name of the app is signal-desktop

But i’m surprised that you can’t find in in YaST. The search filters are already extensive…

So post:
zypper se -si signal

sudo zypper rm --clean-deps signal-desktop

After you should remove the automaticaly added repositories you don’t need anymore in this list (for Leap 15.6 ; different if tumbleweed)

Don’t use squick install, it’s a waste of time and makes a mess of the system.

Install repositories manually on a case-by-case basis.

Or better option: create your own project at the openbuildservice and collect the packages you want with an _aggregate, or rebuild them as needed (link).
