Ubuntu

uninstalling google earth & memory

Asked by Venusjems

Let me first start off by asking that you be patient with me because i am new to the whole unbuntu thing.

I have a dell Mini that came with Unbuntu installed

We installed google earth, it is taking up almost all of my memory. and now I cant figure out how to uninstall it, i have tried several different commands i have found online and none seem to work. So i need help trying to uninstall it.

Also, i need help with adding some more memory, isnt there some way to do it with a flash drive? I think i am at 93% right now. I fear the next update i will be over my limit.

Please help.

Thanks

in the terminal:
cd ~/google-earth
sh uninstall

or when installed via a .bin, and installed it is in /opt, copy-paste this as 1 command (!) in the terminal:
sudo rm -rf /opt/google-earth && sudo rm /usr/share/mime/application/vnd.google-earth.* /usr/share/mimelnk/application/vnd.google-earth.* /usr/share/applnk/Google-googleearth.desktop /usr/share/mime/packages/googleearth-mimetypes.xml /usr/share/gnome/apps/Google-googleearth.desktop /usr/share/applications/Google-googleearth.desktop /usr/local/bin/googleearth
