How to uninstall Atom text editor on Linux?

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

I have posted the same question in the Github Project Repository and this is the complete answer: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/2195#issuecomment-42917489

The commands to execute are:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/atom sudo rm /usr/local/bin/apm rm -rf ~/atom rm -rf ~/.atom rm -rf ~/.config/Atom-Shell sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/atom/
