How to completely remove Phoronix Test Suite?

Question

Is the a way to completely remove Phoronix Test Suite with it's test results, installed suits, etc… from my system? I used the .sh installer file to install the Phoronix Test Suite on my system.

So if there is can you share the information with me

when i try to just uninstall it this is what I get

Package 'phoronix-test-suite' is not installed, so not removed

Solution

The installation script installs the same as the deb package. Therefore install and remove the deb package.

1. Download the deb package

   cd
   wget http://phoronix-test-suite.com/releases/repo/pts.debian/files/phoronix-test-suite_5.8.0_all.deb
   

2. Install the test suite

   sudo dpkg -i phoronix-test-suite_5.8.0_all.deb
   

3. Remove the test suite

   sudo apt-get purge phoronix-test-suite

Which .sh installer (link please), and do you still have it? (if a tarball, uncompressed how you used to install)

[Levan]

moved archived files to home/.phoronix-test-suite and run it through terminal with sudo command. that is it. should i just remove the executable file etc ?? I hare to do so but if there is no other way

Have you try sudo apt-get remove phoronix-test-suite ?

[Levan]

No this is what I get Package 'phoronix-test-suite' is not installed, so not removed

[Levan]

if I do that I only get rid of installed tests and suits and parameters but the phoronix-test-suite is still installed in /bin

Phew.... more than 6GBs of installed tests and still there after apt-get purge, it should be called moronix test suite.

@Levan - probably the 'easiest' as there are quite a lot of files...

@Levan Sure, use deb files instead of installer scripts :)

[Levan]

Well this way is not the most elegant one but gets the job done thx

[Levan]

@A.B. the deb and software centre version does not work on my system

Not elegant? Common =)
