how to remove installed programs including their shared libraries

[noldar]

Hi,

I tried to remove an installed program using

rm -rf prog_name

but it seemed that its shared files were not removed. How can I remove this? Is there any command that will remove all the files related to the prog that is to be deleted?

thanks,

noldar

You should not delete installed packages and avoid rm -rf command. Use Package Manager to Un-install packages.

Which Linux distro are you using?

if you are using any of the "easier" distros there's typically an easy command. For Ubuntu if you type sudo apt-get remove ProgramName it will do what you are looking for. I believe most other distros have something similar.
