How to clear Weather location on Ubuntu 18.04 (GNOME)

By Gabriel Cooper

On my Ubuntu 18.04 system with GNOME 3.28 on it I have set in the top-panel's calendar pull-down the weather location so it checks with the gnome-weather application the weather information for my given area.

However due to partly privacy concerns and also no use for it I would like to get it to stop doing that. However the gnome-weather interface only seem to allow a change of location, but not a deletion and a stopping use of the application altogether.

I don't want to have to remove the application, is there a "friendly" way of doing this or do I have to edit a config file or something?

Open a terminal and execute this command, it will clear all the locations from gnome-weather:

gsettings reset org.gnome.Weather.Application locations 

In case you prefer a GUI solution, you can install and use dconf-editor to achieve the same.

Update : Meanwhile the command has changed ... Thank you @bela83 for your information ! :)

gsettings reset org.gnome.Weather locations
