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
RE: wget question - chmod - 05-15-2014
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.

RE: wget question - chmod - 05-15-2014
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.
RE: uninstalling a wine application - Rajjan Haxor - 05-15-2014
well i can't seem to find uninstall program utility through application>>wine>>prgrams
can you be a little more specific ))
