9.10 Get rid of xmule?

[Paco62]

I installed xmule p2p program using xmule-1.13.6.x86-gcc33.package installer. The installer also got some extra files off the net and installed them. When I click on the xmule icon in applications-internet, nothing happens. Tried reinstalling and restarting but that didn't help. Now I want to get rid of it, how do I do it? I searched for files containing the name xmule, but only the installer came up. Also tried fiddling around with aptitude in the terminal, but no luck. (I didn't really know what I was doing with aptitude). Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

try running:
sudo apt-get remove xmule

or (careful)
sudo apt-get purge xmule

I tried sudo apt get remove and also sudo apt get purge and both times it said xmule is not installed and so not removed. The only visible trace of it is the icon in applications-internet, so how do I remove that at least?

Try finding the software install folder, it usually is found in /usr/share
If it is there run:

sudo rmdir /usr/share/xmule

If it is somewhere else , use:

sudo rmdir /<directory goes here>/xmule

As for the icon... not sure I am not that familiar with how ubuntu stores it's icons.
Removing the folder may remove the icon as well.
