I want to start a fresh install of Eclipse on my Linux box; so I want to completely remove what's already installed without affecting the new install. How can I do this?
I originally installed Eclipse by unzipping the Eclipse archive to /opt directory, set up a desktop shortcut, started up Eclipse and then installed new software using the link in the help menu. I have actually did this several times using different versions of Eclipse by simply deleting the Eclipse directory in /opt and unzipping another version of Eclipse. So I need to completely wipe out everything created by Eclipse including any updates before doing a new install. How should I go about doing this?
Thanks,
JJ

What I do is unzip the contents of the eclipse archive to /opt and then I run eclipse. Eclipse will start up and then I will click "install new software" and install some packages. I will also click on Espressif|ESP-IDF Manager and click the button "Add ESP-IDF". Do I need to do anything else?

There is also a ~/.p2 folder.
I didn't know about that one and there is a lot of stuff in there. Are there any other locations?

You could give a hint about what "some errors" are...
I wanted to keep things simple by not mentioning any other software packages just to stick to my topic of cleanly removing eclipse, but if you're curious......
When I try to install packages using "install new software", sometimes I get messages stating that certain packages were already installed.
I also run into errors when I do a build of my project, such as:
make all
The following Python requirements are not satisfied:
pyserial>=3.0
future>=0.15.2
cryptography>=2.1.4
pyparsing>=2.0.3,<2.4.0
pyelftools>=0.22
gdbgui>=0.13.2.0
pygdbmi<=0.9.0.2
reedsolo>=1.5.3,<=1.5.4
bitstring>=3.1.6
To install the missing packages, please run "/home/jj/esp32/esp-idf/install.sh"
Diagnostic information:
IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH: /usr/bin/python
Python interpreter used: /usr/bin/python
make: *** No rule to make target 'check_python_dependencies', needed by 'all'. Stop.
"make all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.
Then when I try to run "sudo /home/jj/esp32/esp-idf/install.sh" I get:
~/esp32/esp-idf$ sudo ./install.sh

Installing Python environment and packages

Installing virtualenv
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

Not sure what to do after that.....but maybe after a clean install, I won't have that problem.
