I want to remove all screensavers, but i can't find them, thanks

In terminal you can

xscreensaver

to edit your screensaver settings.

Or to remove completely they are here.

/usr/share/xscreensaver

at least in my fluxbox and lxde.

EDIT: well if xscreensaver is already running you can

xscreensaver-command -prefs

to get to it as well.

To locate the screensaver package you could try:

$ ls /var/log/packages/ | grep screensaver

which in my case gives:

xscreensaver-5.12-x86_64-1

then you could remove the package itself:

# removepkg xscreensaver

Or else use Gslapt to remove the package, whichever.

xscreensaver-demo should open the screensaver preferences, too.

Thank you gents, as root i launched pcmanfm and went to /usr/share/xscreensaver and deleted the file

Bad idea! Use spkg -d xscreensaver instead. This is why we have package managers

I'll keep in mind for next time, thanks again

You should still run that command because xscreensaver has more file than the single one you've deleted.

OK, will do it.
