ok i solved my last problem i posted now my question is how to locate some files i downloaded not from within the debian form...(didn't use apt-get install) insted used wget from any website now i want to locate this files and uninstall and remove them any help please

[bluedog.tar.gz]

Use apt-get remove --purge <package>
Then use apt-get clean

[The Real Slim Shady]

Use apt-get remove --purge <package>
Then use apt-get clean

This would only work if he installed using the package manager, which I get the impression he did not as he said he did not use apt.

As for the OP - if you still have the source files, you may be able to run `make uninstall` - otherwise merely deleting the install directory/location should do it?

Eh as far as I understood he ment he downloaded it with wget instead of apt-get install.

But we'll see.

the question is really what is "it". Without knowing what he downloaded or how he installed it, we're just making assumptions :p

[chmod]

As everyone above has already said it would depend on what exactly you downloaded. If you downloaded a .deb package then dpkg would be the way to go but if you compiled it from source then Geoff's suggestions will do the trick.

thank all for your help but what i did i downloaded mirc as an example and now i want to remove it
when i use locate mirc i get the following directories

Code:

/home/Rajjan/.wine/drive_c/users/Rajjan/Application Data/mIRC/mirc.ini /home/Rajjan/.wine/drive_c/users/Rajjan/Temp/mirc732.exe /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins/mirc_6_35.nasl /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins/mirc_installed.nasl /root/.local/share/Trash/files/mirc732.exe /root/.local/share/Trash/info/mirc732.exe.trashinfo /root/.local/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/2235_mirc.0.png /root/.local/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/25D9_mirc.0.png /root/.local/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/2235_mirc.0.png /root/.local/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/25D9_mirc.0.png /root/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/2235_mirc.0.png /root/.wine/drive_c/users/root/Temp/mirc732.exe /usr/share/isr-evilgrade/include/mirc /usr/share/isr-evilgrade/include/mirc/update.html /usr/share/isr-evilgrade/modules/mirc.pm /usr/share/metasploit-framework/modules/exploits/windows/browser/mirc_irc_url.rb /usr/share/metasploit-framework/modules/exploits/windows/misc/mirc_privmsg_server.rb

i tried rm for the first few line i tried removing their directories and i don't get and error and they are not removed
i'm willing to give you teamviewer id and pass if you will help and thanks a lot in advance

[chmod]

It's a windows/wine application, either navigate to the directory from the locate output and run the uninstaller or use the uninstall program utility from wine.

On a separate note the thread title is missleading and your question has nothing to do with wget.

[Rajjan Haxor]

well i can't seem to find uninstall program utility through application>>wine>>prgrams
can you be a little more specific ))
