I installed Multibit HD (and SpiderOakONE) on my Ubuntu PC about a week ago. I tried VERY hard to like it, but had annoyances and persistent problems that finally convinced me to return to Multibit Classic.

I was able to uninstall SpiderOakONE using instruction available on their web site.

I have installed Multibit Classic on my Ubuntu PC and transferred all my bitcoin out of Multibit HD into my Multibit Classic wallet. How do I uninstall Multibit HD on my Ubuntu PC?

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MOVED ALL YOUR BITCOINS OUT BEFORE DELETING YOUR WALLET

There should be an 'uninstall' in your program installation directory. Just run that.

Failing that, MultiBit HD installs in two directories:
+ where your executable is installed (most likely a directory 'multibit-hd)
+ where your wallets etc are stored - the application data directory. You can see this in 'Manage wallet | Walletdashboard'

If you delete those directories then you will have removed MultiBit HD.

Keep your wallet words somewhere safe just in case you need to restore your wallet (e.g. someone sends you funds to an old wallet address).

Thanks for the guidance Jim.

The "Uninstall" file in my Home>multibit-hd folder does not uninstall Multibit-HD on my Ubuntu 14.04 PC. It just opens up a text file in gedit.

I have now deleted both the hidden and non-hidden Multibit-HD folders. Unfortunately, I am still left with Multibit HD appearing in the Ubuntu Dash screen.

You can just rightclick on an icon on the menu and select "unlock from launcher" to have it removed. Its just a shortcut and should no longer work anyway.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

It's in the Ubuntu Dash, not the launch bar, where the problem lies.
