uninstaller non repository software

[ottosykora]

I just came over small problem.
When I install some software which was not taken from the official repository, that means I found somewhere a deb file, I install it, OK, but later I want remove this software.
How do I do this? I have not the synaptic 'mark for remove' function in that case.

Does there exist any kind of universal unistaller or similar tool?

You can remove it from terminal?


sudo apt-get autoremove [package]

or;


sudo dpkg -r [pacgake]
