Clean removal tool after the uninstall of an emulator?

[Retrodade]

How can I do a cleanup retro pie after removing an emulator on the pi4?
I see sometimes when you remove an emulator, there is a clean removal tool after the uninstall.
and sometimes I don't see it offered.

Is there any way to run something in putty or command that will clean up an emulator you removed?
If so, how? Thank you.

@Retrodade there is a "clean source folder" option whenever such folder exists (if the source install was interrupted before completion or if manual sources, build, install, configure functions were used without also clean.)

Is this what you're referring to, or what emulators have a "clean removal tool" besides this?

Most packages remove pretty cleanly. They might leave configs behind in /opt/retropie/configs in case you reinstall them at a later time. What emulator would you like to remove completely?

The emulator I'm trying to remove is lr-freejm2e
I updated it and now it fails, I removed it, then re booted pi4 it still fails

what's odd is, I can add it on any random pi4 image if never installed it works fine, if you update that emulator, it will also fail to load after that, if I remove it, that one fails to load as well. re install it from then on it also fails to load a game.

it must leave something behind causing it to happen.

so I am hoping to do a clean removal for the emulator in the image I cherish to re install it.
it doesn't have the clean folders option like other emulators do

any help?

@Retrodade I believe FreeJ2ME is not installable by default in RetroPie. How did you install it, did you use instructions on the internet? Perhaps those instructions say how to remove it.
