I installed Timeshift backup and Restore manager for my Ubuntu 20.04 and I interrupted the backup. Now I uninstalled the Timeshift but the folder still exists under the root with 15 GB of storage, And also there are many timeshift files in many locations. So How can I remove them all.

To remove the folder, open a terminal and enter the command

sudo rm -rf /path/to/folder

Then type your password, followed by enter

Here path/to/folder may be /home/timeshift or just /timeshift. Correctly check the path before you enter the command.

To find all the timeshift files (which are outside /home/timeshift), enter the command locate timeshift, and it would show the locations of all files/folders having the name timeshift. Then you can remove them (one by one if the number of such folders is not large, or with a bash script, if there are too many folders).
