        <title>Description</title>

        <para>
            Uninstalls an application or runtime. <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> is a reference to the
            application or runtime to install. If no <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> is given, everything
            is updated.
        </para>
        <para>
            Each <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> arguments is a full or partial indentifier in the
            flatpak ref format, which looks like "(app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH". All elements
            except ID are optional and can be left out, including the slashes,
            so most of the time you need only specify ID. Any part left out will be matched
            against what is installed, and if there are multiple matches an error message
            will list the alternatives.
        </para>
        <para>
            By default this looks for both installed apps and runtime
            with the given <arg choice="plain">NAME</arg>, but you can
            limit this by using the --app or --runtime option.
        </para>
        <para>
            Normally, this command removes the ref for this application/runtime from the
            local OSTree repository and purges and objects that are no longer
            needed to free up disk space. If the same application is later
            reinstalled, the objects will be pulled from the remote repository
            again. The --keep-ref option can be used to prevent this.
        </para>
        <para>
            If all branches of the application/runtime are removed, this command
            also purges the data directory for the application.
        </para>
        <para>
            Unless overridden with the --user or the --installation option, this command updates
            the default system-wide installation.
        </para>
