Re: [Design] removing scopes

 

Hi everyone,

I also have the Bq E5 Ubuntu Edition and I've been able to remove some
apps such as Amazon and eBay (or that's what it seems). I've been even
able to remove Clock and Calculator (I think that those two are
installed in /opt/click.ubuntu.com/ and their folders disappear)

To remove an app just push during 3 seconds in its icon in the Apps
menu. Then, you will have the option to uninstall or open the app.

Cheers,
Felip
