 I did 'sudo apt remove gnucash' and got:   
   - The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: list of packages
   - Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
   - The following packages will be REMOVED: gnucash [note that it does not state what version will be removed]
I answered Y about do you want to continue. It looks like V3.4 was removed. I also did 'sudo apt autoremove'.I then pushed on the Super Key and G.No GnuCash icon shows up as it was doing before.
I type completely "gnucash" and get a list of files with:MyNamed.gnucashMyNamed.gnucash.20190304113239.logMyNamed.gnucash.20190304124553.logMyNamed.gnucash.20190304124553.gnucashgnucash-3.5
I clicked on gnucash-3.5 thinking that would launch the program, but no, there are some directories and files. I backed out of that.
I then clicked on MyNamed.gnucash and a screen shows up with "Could not display "MyNamed.gnucash". There is no application installed for "GnuCash financial data" files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file? No or Yes."--Okay, what do I do???--Larry

 To remove the version that you installed using apt install then do
sudo apt remove gnucash
Do that first and see what state you are in then.  Before doing
anything make sure your backup of your accounts file is up to date,
just in case, though installing/removing should not affect it.
