Help with Emudeck

[katineko88]

Hi,

So I am trying to setup Emudeck for the first time. I selected "Easy Mode" on one install, but it didn't really show me that it was finished installing, and the Emudeck icon is not added onto my desktop. I then selected "Custom Mode" and tried installing again from that, but I accidentally closed the download in progress screen (the one with Sonic running around). Now I just want to uninstall everything and start over. I found scripts, but I am confused on how to use them to uninstall Emudeck. If I need to, I am willing to wipe my entire Steam Deck and SD card because I just started with the setup. How can I uninstall Emudeck and/or start over on my Steam Deck from scratch? Also, how can I get the icon for Emudeck to appear on my desktop? It didn't prompt me to add to desktop during installation.

Thank you for any information!

Can't you just run the installer again?

Here is the guide btw:

Thank you for the link. I am considering starting from scratch. How do I uninstall Emudeck? Or, will factory resetting my Steam Deck and formatting my SD card again get rid of Emudeck? I basically just started setup, so I won't lose too much.

What I know of emudeck is that it installs as bunch of emulators and creates a folder on either the main storage or the sd card. These apps can also be installed via the Discover app store. I don't think it does more than that. But other may know a bit more about that.

A complete factory reset feels a bit heavy for something like this. If you want to go for a completely clean system then a factory reset is always a good option. Its up to you basically.
