Add copy about uninstalling the application

[iancleary]

I've attempted to add some copy about uninstalling the application to address issue https://github.com/elementary/docs/issues/97.

I've compiled what I believe uninstalls the application, but I am following the tutorial while proposing these edits. So if one of the maintainers would advise/edit as needed, I'd be happy to update my branch.

Uninstalling the application

To uninstall your application, we need to remove the several files we've created outside of our project folder:

• Binary file located at /usr/bin/com.github.yourusername.hello-again
• Desktop file in /usr/share/applications/com.github.yourusername.hello-again.desktop
• Application Data file in /usr/share/metainfo/com.github.yourusername.hello-again.appdata.xml

sudo rm /usr/bin/com.github.yourusername.hello-again
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/com.github.yourusername.hello-again.desktop
sudo rm /usr/share/metainfo/com.github.yourusername.hello-again.appdata.xml

I'm not sure about Application Data, but doesn't sudo ninja uninstall inside the build folder removes the necessary files?

[iancleary]

It wasn't clear to me how to uninstall. I'd like the docs to state the method directly.

If sudo ninja uninstall from the build folder is the right way, I'd be happy to change the PR contents.

Is that the recommended way?

Thanks!

@Eldhrimer sudo ninja uninstall from the build folder worked. I agree that is the preferred way forward.

Thanks! :)

Remember that files created by custom scripts have not been removed.

I'll update the PR.

@Eldhrimer I removed the bash output per https://github.com/elementary/docs/commit/8ff32d85c43b45423fc92bb3ce95b455653d977a.

Does it look good to merge to you?
