You can use the ubuntu software center.

You can also use apt-get at the command line like:
$sudo apt-get purge nameofsoftware

For this option you need to know the command you want to remove. The "purge" command will erase it's settings from the drive. You can also use the word "remove" if you want to install it again later.

You can also try to find the program in the /opt folder and remove it. Try using apt-get first though.

Can you help with this problem?
