What's Wrong or Missing?

Need a process for migrating from a locally-installed Claude installation (and removing the locally installed Claude binaries and labels, etc.) to one provided by the Debian/Ubuntu Package Manager WITHOUT eliminating ~/.claude and so on. I don't want to scrape out everything and start over, which is what the uninstall search results are returning.

Suggested Improvement

This should be as simple as rm -rf ~/.local/claude/share but I am not familiar with the particulars of the installation or code.

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
