i don't remember how i installed Signal desktop. i think i did it with ubuntu software. the version is v1.39.6 so i removed it with all the ways i know

• as if installed w/snap but it says here that the package does not exit

sudo snap remove signal-desktop

• as if installed with ubuntu software, going there and looking for it (did not find it) or using the favs or doing some console typing:

sudo apt-get purge signal-desktop sudo apt remove signal-desktop sudo apt remove signal-desktop

• as if installed according to their website guidelines and as decribed in this site here Can't remove Signal-Desktop in Ubuntu 20.x

result: nada, nothing. still there nagging me. i can find it in this folder:

/home/my_name/.config/Signal

to answer a question by user535733, the folder contains: clementine, brave,chromium, blender...

i can run the app and identifying it with ps ef it gives

3543 tty2 SLl+ 0:05 | \_ /app/Signal/signal-desktop the app is effectively running. no error message. the only thing is that it's trying to reconnect to my account unsuccessfully.

thank you for any help.
