Complete removal of Brave Browser in LMDE-5 Elsie


Hello,
I would like to completely remove Brave Browser and cache from desktop. My plan is to completely remove Brave and do a clean install. I can uninstall using software manager, but when I reinstall all of my previous settings, bookmarks, etc., still exist.

I've tried to remove via terminal with no success.

sudo apt autoremove brave-browser
[sudo] password for ejism:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package brave-browser

Brave browser currently installed but not listed in .bin. Firefox is there. No Brave.
Are Brave files listed under another name?
Where is the cache stored?

Any advice?
thanks

Not sure what distro you are running . I usually use mlocate to find files in terminal I wish to remove . I don't run brave so I will just give the commands.

Code:
sudo updatedb
To update the list. When done. You won't see nothing happen . It will just give a terminal prompt when done.

Then

Code:
locate brave

Try this:
Code:
which brave-browser
Your settings, bookmarks and cache are probably under /home/ejism/.config/BraveSoftware
