Google Earth Uninstallation

[maitrayei]

Hi Guys,

I installed google-earth through the terminal after reading the instructions given by one of the guys on his forums.... Anyways, the software got installed but did not work properly. Next I wanted to uninstall it and I am unable to do it. I went through the files and found it that google earth is located at

/usr/share/googleearth

but there is no uninstall file out there. So kind of you can say I am stuck out here and do not know as to what to do.

Thanx for your effort in advance

Try this

sudo sh /usr/share/ "exact file name of Google-Earth (letter for letter) goes here"/uninstall

Hi rockytnji... tried the same... Somehow does not work at all

The sudo sh wherever the file google is located uninstall should work out. It worked for me. I installed it just like you did a long while back and after I found EXACTLY where google file was I did what I showed you and it was gone. Maybe a typo or wrong location is all I can think of. I'm not at my Ubuntu Box right now, I am testing a 15 in 1 DVD from here Ubuntu 4 You: 15 in 1 MultiBoot Linux DVD With Links
anbd am testing out wireless on another Desktop and I am in Puppy Linux right now running live. Maybe some other member will jump in and help you through uninstall. I'm kinda tied up tonight. Sorry

Try cd to google earths directory by

cd /usr/share/ <file name> sudo su/ uninstall

are you sure you didn't install it in opt file by the way?

One question,

Is the application installed in the synaptic package manager list? If so you can remove it from there.

Thanx guys..... Foolish of me actually!!! Looks like I had installed it from Synaptic. Was able to remove it from there. Thanx everyone and sorry for this wild goose chase that I got you guys into

Glad it worked out for you.
