Uninstall does the following steps:

1. If the DB entry for the dictionary exists:
   • Built-in (normal): Set Installed to false.
   • Built-in (delete): Remove the row for the suffix.
   • Built-in (restore): Set Installed to true.
   • Extra: Remove the row for the suffix.
2. If the dictionary is not built-in and there is an ExtraLocales entry for the locale in the .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf, remove it.
3. With the dictzip:
   • Built-in (normal): Delete it if it exists.
   • Built-in (delete): Delete it if it exists.
   • Built-in (restore): Delete it if it exists, then download it again from Kobo.
   • Extra: Delete it if it exists.
