Somehow?? How did you install it? Did you install Alien Arena from the Ubuntu repositories? Or did you install Alien Arena from source code?

If you want to uninstall the game:
If you installed it from the Ubuntu repos, you can uninstall it via Synaptic or the software center.
If you installed it from source code, you will likely have to delete the directories the installer created. Most likely, the game will have installed to /usr/local/games/ or possibly /usr/local/. There will also be an executable launcher in /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/.

Write back if you need more help.
FYI: If you ever install something from source code, it helps if you first find out how to uninstall it, in case you ever need to.

And welcome to the Ubuntu forums!

Hi Guys,

I did install the game via the Ubuntu(11.04) Repo qnd now the uninstall does not work, what should I do to investigate this ? Is this right to just delete the folder ?

Ok, I found a clean way to remove it with the "Getionnaire de packets Synaptic"
