It will be successfully removed.
Tomorrow it will be back.
Why I think so? Because it has returned, and I have re-deleted it, practically every day since February 11.

#Joplin update woes:
I don't use Joplin on the desktop as much as on the phone, which means that I had neglected updating the desktop version (AppImage; yes, Linux) for some time.
Today I finally did open it, and saw several notes being un-encryptable. Okay, time to update, I guess.
Only problem turned out to be that version 3.5.11 and 3.5.13 (the two I tried) don't load properly: the app only shows a grey rectangle with a half menubar that doesn't respond to button presses.
So I tried to get back to version 3.4.x. Nope, can't do, the profile is too new. So version 3.5.x did do something: update the profile and prevent me from opening an older version.
What finally solved it was to restore $HOME/.config/Joplin and $HOME/.config/joplin-desktop from backup, and run version 3.4.10. The app opens, and all notes decrypt properly.
I still don't dare trying to run 3.5.x again - it would probably require another restore from backup in order to get back to 3.4.x again.
As an aside, I did learn that backintime backups of softlinks can get you to the live version of a file rather than the backed up version. Which is why my 2 week old backup looked like it contained files that had been updated 43 minutes ago - those files weren't the backed up files, but the live ones.

Windows suddenly can't find the external monitor, and the settings dialog freezes.
