How to uninstall a program in Linux?

Question

linux

In Windows, I do this through the Reg Organizer.
Is there something similar in Linux?

Answer 1

You put Wine, under it Reg Organizer - profit.
zy And than under Windows the regular applet "programs and whattatam" did not please?

Answer 2

For starters, read this .
After removing or updating, it makes sense to do sudo apt autoremove, but in general - the ideology of Windows and Linux, let's say, are slightly different :).

In Windows, I do this through the Reg Organizer

- I do not use and do not recommend this software to others. Cleaning the registry is nothing more than a myth, each program has its own removal tools - there are more than enough of them.

Answer 3

You don't even need to do this in Windows. Reg Organizer is a good program, but it has other goals, the regular "Programs and Features" applet (well, or whatever it's called now) is quite enough to remove it, for paranoids - there is such a good thing as Revo Uninstaller, which "cleans up" after the program tails from the register.
There is no register in linux, so its organizers are not needed either. On Linux, the program stores its settings in /etc and the home directory, sometimes, very rarely, in /usr/local/etc. Removing programs and cleaning these settings is done by the appropriate package manager for the distribution, for example, in CentOS - yum, in Gentoo - emerge (this is of course not really a package manager :D )

Answer 4

please provide more details:
what OS do you have?
To do this, you can run the command in the terminal
How is this program installed?
- if it is installed by means of the operating system, then by means of the operating system, you need to delete it. This is done with one command, for example
- if the program is copied to a folder on the computer or compiled there, then this folder should be deleted
- if the program is compiled in a certain folder and installed using its own tools, then you need to delete it using the same tools. Usually installed by the command , both are
removed
with administrator rights.
if in the latter case the developers did not provide means for uninstalling the program, then this is a separate issue and you will have to tinker more

Answer 5

Here is the application manager for XFCE (available for both Unity and Gnome with KDE):
Although I recommend deleting it via the console. The links have already been posted above.
