Why am I Unable to Remove Files?

[jesus-pieces]

Ubuntu 20.0.4

I installed ClamAV and then uninstalled it, but there are some files left on the system, which are configuration files, that are owned by root. I have tried the <rm> with/without <sudo>, which resulted in this: cannot remove 'clamconf': No such file or directory. I can see them in /usr/bin. How do I remove these files?

Post all commands run and output from those commands.

Also, indicate that you have navigated to the directory where the files reside.

It looks like you're talking about this file, which is installed by the clamav-daemon package. Try issuing the following command to get rid of it:

sudo apt purge clamav-daemon

so, I [cd] to /usr/bin, and [sudo] [rm] three files -- the power ... I have the power! Then, I had a problem with the last file, and it turned out that I had missplelled the file name. Uhm, this is New to Ubuntu, right? Thanks for your patience.

Pretty much all of us have been there before. Usually earlier today.

To prevent misspellings, use tab-completion. You'll never misspell a directory or program or file again - the system won't let you. If you don't know what tab-completion is ... search and learn it. If you type more than 2-3 characters, you are doing it the hard way.
