Remove file in recovery mode

General
1

I finally made it to the Jolla recovery only to realise I have no idea how it works. Mainly I want to remove file ~/.local/share/harbour-situations2application. Uninstalling Situations would do it too. Didn’t find anything helpful with search.

Should you are in Recovery choose option “4) Shell” and then remove systemd service file of Sittuations to prevent it to startup at boot.
devel-su rm -f /etc/systemd/system/situations-daemon.service
and then reboot the phone.

Wouldn’t you need to chroot first, or other wise you are just playing around with the recovery mode directories?

Though aimed at installing stuff, my notes detail how to mount your home directory.

(Please don’t come complaining apps stopped working if you full-restore /home)

Thank you attah, I thought that home directory has to be mounted but had no idea how, took several attempts but problem is now solved and I learned something new.
