fully removing a solver

haze_1986 · May 31, 2013, 04:55

Hi all, I would like to know how I can fully remove a customized solver residing in applications/solvers. i.e. myIcoFoam. I noticed after wmake it registers that solver keyword and I have been compiling quite a few solvers and it is getting untidy in the folder. is there any command that does this? just deleting the folder myIcoFoam is insufficient am I right?

Regards.

Hi !

Indeed, it is not sufficient to delete the solver directory ! All your customed solvers are copied to FOAM_USER_APPBIN.

So, you juste have to go to

Code:

cd $FOAM_USER_APPBIN

delete the program and re-source your bash.

Best,
Cyp
