UNinstallation issues

[randell6564]

Hello!

This might be a REALLY stupid question, (I'm still pretty new to linux)

How Do I Go About UNinstalling a program that is not listed in 'Synaptic Package Manager?'

I am Using 'Ubuntu Dapper'

For example: LimeWire. It does not show up in synaptic.

Thanks!

try:
apt-get remove package_name..

Did you compile it on your own or what?

Well to be hoest what you can do for manual deletion is run limewire. Check its PID, then do a lsof on that PID. That'll show you everything that Limewire has open. Then you can simple delete anything thats not needed.
Sorry a few too many years of linux make me just want to type in a one liner, but its better you understand what you're doing, trust me!
