Question
i was reading the documentation looking for a way to cleanly uninstall Atom from my linux OS, but i didn't find anything related.
Is there a set of directories to delete? or maybe an script to run?
Thanks for the attention

OTHER TIPS
For Ubuntu 14.04 & Ubuntu 18.04, use the following:
sudo apt-get remove atom
If you installed atom using the .deb package, you can remove it using this command:
sudo apt-get remove atom
If you want to remove any config directories, you can use this command:
sudo apt-get purge atom
Atom may also be installed as a Snap. You can find out by using:
$ sudo snap list
If you see it in the list you can remove it with:
$ sudo snap remove atom
For more on snaps: https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/snappy
In RHEL (I guess also Fedora/CentOS), just type: yum erase atom
on Ubuntu (15.04):
after installing the .deb from atom.io, I found the package available under the Ubuntu Software center.
I would use simply
sudo apt remove --purge atom
since it is also suggested in the (un-official) installation page here
On Ubuntu 14.04, with Atom 1.0, I didn't find anything under /usr/local/bin/.
However, the install was at /usr/share/atom/, which I deleted.
If you have installed Atom by .deb, then you can just remove by:
sudo dpkg -r atom
In fedora,it can be removed by:
sudo dnf remove atom
