How do you uninstall ALL Embuary skin components? - Codifi - 2020-03-16
Running KODI 18 (Leia).
I installed and accepted all the recommended Kodi changes however after uninstalling have noticed there are still components left behind that have the Uninstall option greyed out, for example the Embuary GUI sounds component.
What is the recommended way of completely uninstalling ALL Embuary skin components?
(This may sound trivial but I don't like leaving unneeded components on my system as they take up storage space and CPU if left running in the background)
Thanks Nigel

script.embuary.helper
script.embuary.info
But both are used in other skins as well. Embuary is very lightweight and has no ton of dependencies.
The UI sounds are just a few KB. Uninstall Embuary and then remove it from the addon browser.

Do you know what skins?
Because I installed many of the default Kodi skins but didn't notice the Embuary add-ons (script.embuary.helper, script.embuary.info) until after I installed the Embuary skin.

In any skin go to Settings, System, Add-ons, Manage dependencies.
There you can see if you have orphaned dependencies and uninstall them.
Then go to Settings, System, Add-ons, Running.
There you can see the services you have installed (including Embuary info and helper) and uninstall them.
If Kodi doesn't let you uninstall a service or a dependency it tells you why, which add-ons are using them.
You can see exactly there which skins you have installed are using Embuary info and helper (when you try to uninstall them Kodi will let you know).
If you uninstall these add-ons Kodi will allow you to uninstall the services and dependencies it didn't allow you to uninstalll before.
