    So, out of preference, I installed LibreOffice in order to replace and remove WPS Office - however, upon trying to remove WPS from the Launcher, Deepin gave me an error.
    Subsequently, I have tried to reinstall it, redownload it, aptitude purge it, synaptic force removal, update it, upgrade my entire system, and none of these methods are working.   

    My terminal:

    After entering the code, I rebooted and it didn't work.



    (Also, why is this an emoji?)

    Maybe you should check /usr/share//mime/packages/wps-office-et.xml and figure out what this file is and why this file is missing. Btw, why do you want to replace WPS-Office? Is it not good enough?

    This is what helped me
    You need to create a file with the contents of this link:
    https://gemfury.com/beebox/deb:wps-office/-/content/usr/share/mime/packages/wps-office-et.xml
    Next
    1. sudo mkdir /usr/share/desktop-directories/
    Copy the Code

    Copy file
    1. sudo cp /path2file/wps-office-et.xml /usr/share//mime/packages/
    Copy the Code

    Uninstall wps-office
    1. sudo dpkg --remove --force-all wps-office
    Copy the Code

    It's all
