The hardest part of this is to find out what is the exact name of the executible file for, e.g., koko.   You just need to delete the executible. 
If you find hoe to get a list of installed apps and their executible names, let the viewers of this thread know.  I don't

It might be possible to associate an executible to kokp by running ps command to show running processes and then figuring out which one is associated with koko but it could have a completely unrelated name.  Perhaps stop and start koko and see what process stops or starts.

If it is just named koko, then remove with pacman as below:

sudo pacman -R koko

@tckosvic please don't post confusing and false information.
DO NOT JUST REMOVE EXECUTABLES!!! unless you know what you are doing. Linux distros use package managers for a reason, this is how you remove installed software. If you just delete a folder outside your home directory or remove binaries from some place in the system because you are trying to remove an app, you may very well cause breakage depending on what you remove.

@Emilio It depends on which operating you are using. If you are on arch or manjaro, you can search packages in the terminal like this: "sudo pacman -Ss koko | grep Installed" which will search all packages that have koko in their name or description, then pipe that output to grep and filter only packages that are installed. Koko is a kde app, so it's part of plasma mobile. I do not use plasma mobile right now, so I cannot check but you can read package lists online for most of the repositories, to see what will be preinstalled: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi...LDS/plasma

This repository contains the pkgbuilds for the different danctnix arch linux releases. The plasma folder contains the packages that are additionally installed when choosing the plasma mobile version. You can see, that there is indeed a package simply called koko and there is two packages called kweather and kweathercore, which should be what you are looking for, at least on arch/manjaro. Not sure about clip, but with the provided hints you should now be able to find out yourself. Debian will probably have a different naming convention but should be similar.

There are ways to find out which package a file originated from. 2s of googling turned up this tutorial for ubuntu/debian https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/11/ho...-file.html

For arch based distros (e.g. danctnix and manjaro mobile), pacman provides all the necessary tools: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#...cific_file

Ok. Sorry. It is not my intention. In another forum, remember I am nubie,
I send them the text list of all packages and they return it with all the packages in the list corresponding to the programs installed

I did not uninstall them just I wanted to know. And now I know
THanks
