How do I completely remove mega sync client

I'm using mega service (). I installed the sync client on my Ubuntu 14.10 and it works well. But now I'm trying to configure a new account. I did a purge to the mega sync pakckage :

sudo apt-get --purge remove megasync

and I deleted the associated folder. But after the new install, mega detect my old mega account and it did'nt even create the folder! I disconnected the old one but don't work!

Any help is welcome.

You have in your home directory a megasync configuration ~/.local/share/data/Mega Limited. Configurations in your home directory are not deleted by simply uninstalling a package.

Remove this folder with:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/data/Mega\ Limited

For the future use purge instead of remove when you want config files to be gone as well.

To clear the mega client configuration must be eliminated.

sudo apt-get --purge remove megasync

and then delete the configuration

rm -rf ~/.local/share/data/Mega\ Limited
