How to uninstall Atom text editor on Linux?

i was reading the documentation looking for a way to cleanly uninstall Atom from my linux OS, but i didn't find anything related.

Is there a set of directories to delete? or maybe an script to run?

Thanks for the attention

    The commands to execute are:

    sudo rm /usr/local/bin/atom
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/apm
rm -rf ~/atom
rm -rf ~/.atom
rm -rf ~/.config/Atom-Shell
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/atom/
