Hi Fatima,
not sure what problems you refer to? At the beginning of the thread you mentioned you need to uninstall and reinstall FS. Where there some other issues you had?
Best,
Martin

Thank you Martin, you were correct, my Freesurfer was not installed in that directory, but I managed to uninstall it...now I have to reinstall. But I’m wondering how I’m going to avoid the same problems I faced when installing it before. Are there any tips you (or anyone) can give to help me with this? I’d be extremely grateful.
Thank you and kind regards,
Fatima

Fatima,
try
rm -rf $FREESURFER_HOME
The command which Pedro gave you assumed that your freesurfer installation directory was /usr/local/, which may not be the case. If you had freesurfer correctly installed before, you must have had the $FREESURFER_HOME variable set correctly. Thus the command above should remove, if you have sufficent permissions.
To check whether the command was effective you could try
ls $FREESURFER_HOME
If there are no file listed, you have successfully removed it.
Hope this helps.
Martin

I executed this command, but nothing happened. Is that supposed to happen? How do I know if this has uninstalled Freesurfer?
Thank you and regards,
Fatima

You can simply execute:
rm -rf /usr/local/freesurfer
If your freesurfer installation is in another directory, change the command above accordingly

Hello Experts,
I apologise for the stupidity of this question, but I am not used to using Linux at all, but I need to uninstall my Freesurfer and then reinstall it, however, I have no idea how to uninstall in Linux. Can someone possibly assist me in this problem? I’d be extremely grateful.
Thank you and Kind regards,
Fatima
