I would like to uninstall Nitroshare from ubuntu 15.10. But after installation the program does not show up as installed program in the software center.

How to uninstall Nitroshare?

  • Can you start it from terminal, in that case just do a sudo apt-get --purge remove nitroshare – Arup Roy Chowdhury Oct 26 '15 at 06:57

If you installed NitroShare via PPA or by installing one of the binary packages from the website, you can remove it using the following terminal command:

sudo apt-get remove nitroshare

If you built NitroShare from source, you will need to manually remove the files. Here's a list of the files to remove ($PREFIX is usually /usr or /usr/local):

$PREFIX/bin/nitroshare
$PREFIX/share/applications/nitroshare.desktop
$PREFIX/share/icons/gnome/24x24/apps/nitroshare-indicator.png
$PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/nitroshare.svg
$PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/nitroshare-indicator.svg
$PREFIX/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/apps/22/nitroshare-indicator.png
$PREFIX/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/apps/24/nitroshare-indicator.svg
$PREFIX/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-light/apps/22/nitroshare-indicator.png
