Previously FreeFileSync was available as tarball, so one should download it, extract to somewhere and then adjust $PATH variable in ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile and put desktop-file into ~/.local/share/applications.
You have to check which FreeFileSync and which RealtimeFileSync and decide is it your case or not.
Currently FreeFileSync is shipped as FlatPak, to remove it use command below:
flatpak remove org.freefilesync.FreeFileSyncIf you installed FreeFileSync with the FreeFileSync_11.21_Install.run file that you extracted from FreeFileSync_11.21_Linux.tar.gz that you downloaded from , run the uninstall.sh file located at /opt/FreeFileSync.
