[O/S] Just uninstalled a Flatpak app via Software app but it is still running

[Martek]

I had installed Cryptomator via the Software app in Gnome. It was a Flatpak version. I found out that using the Flatpak version means you don't get the option to automatically start the app when you login. So I was going to uninstall it and reinstall the .DEB version. On uninstalling the app I can see that the app is still running. The icon has been removed from the Show Applications but I can still open the app from the tray icon. At the command line "flatpak list" also doesn't show the app as being installed. So why is it still running? On Windows you uninstall something and it will close the app down and completely uninstall it.

you can not remove a flatpak program via software center. you have to use the following commands.
[*]flatpak list --app
[*]flatpak uninstall --delete-data App-ID (where delete-data App ID are the name of the program you want to uninstall. )
For instance say you want to remove gimp flatpak. It would look like this
[*]flatpak uninstall --delete-data org.gimp.GIMP

Yes you can. There is an uninstall button and it removes the icon for the aplication and removes it from the flatpak list. It just leaves the app running which is pointless. It doesn't matter now anyway as I have deleted Debian after just one issue after another.

It true it has an uninstall but it does not uninstall the complete flatpak. Just the menu entries so if you don't want it running you need to do as I said.
