add/remove is okay, but Synaptic package manager is better. go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package manager. you should find it there.

also, you may find it useful to search of any remaining lime wire files with the following command

sudo find / -name "*ime*ire*"

It will return a list of files that contain LimeWire or limewire at the beginning of the name anywhere on your file system.
