How to remove money manager ex?

Asked by guidemeintheeyesofblindness@yahoo.com

I installed "Money manager ex" and didn't like it. Now I can't remove it.
It does not appear in synaptic package manager and I can't get it out with the terminal. Perhaps I'm not adding the proper command.

Can anyone help me remove Money manager ex?

I am assuming you downloaded either the i386-32bit or AMD-64bit DEB package from http://www.codelathe.com/mmex/mmex_download.php

This would have installed a package called "mmex" on your system.

From a terminal console you should be able to see it by issuing the command "apt-cache search mmex" which should return "mmex - Cross-platform simple to use financial management software."

To remove the program from the terminal you can use the command "sudo apt-get remove mmex"

The program also installed a dependency "libcelt0" which after removing mmex was no longer required on my system. If you get a message afterwards when you use apt-get about:

         The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
           libcelt0
         Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

Then you can issue the command it suggest "sudo apt-get autoremove" and it will remove the package (if required).

The program also stores it setting in a directory in your Home folder entitled ".mmex" (the period means it's a hidden folder), you can delete this as well if you wish, and have no important data stored in the program.

Best of luck.
