Remove deb installed program

Asked by srikumar

I have installed the "quasar-single_2.1.3-1_i386.deb" program but find that i cannot use it even to open the demo file. Hence i've decided to remove it. It is shown under Applications>Office>Quasar Accounting and Quasar Admin (2 items)
How do I remove these two items and the entirety of the Quasar Accouting Pgram.

any suggestions?
thank you
srikumar

Open the terminal: Applications > Accessories > Terminal

And write this: sudo aptitude purge quasar-single_2.1.3-1_i386

Try deselecting it in synaptic first (system > administration > synaptic).

You can also uninstall it by typing sudo apt-get remove quasar-single (or if that doesn't work) sudo dpkg -remove quasar-single_2.1.3-1_i386.deb in a terminal windows (applications > accessories > terminal).

The sudo apt-get remove quasar-single did it.
