Greetings p0kerus and welcome to the forum!

It would be helpful to know how exactly you installed OpenFOAM and which version... more specifically, which instructions you followed or at least if you used Deb packages or built from source code.

Anyway, the easiest way should be to remove all non-essential object and dependency files, by running:

Code:

foam
rmoall
rmdepall

But the detail is that if you are using the 2.2.x version of OpenFOAM, it will take you longer to build when you update from the repository.

Best regards,
Bruno
