How to uninstall Real VNC in Ubuntu 14.04

Question

i have a static site using eleventy, tailwindcss, and nunjucks. this is my first time and overall really like it, but i still find the layout a bit confusing.

i would like to create a page of reusuable components, each component with two parts. example display of component,and then below it a div containing the components code to copy and paste.

in my /src/utils/ directory i added a simple toggle function to add and remove the class 'block' (tailwindcss)

i dont understand how to access that function in my /src/site/components.njk files code to add the functionality to my page.

numerous and lengthy google and duck duck go queries have not returned much info, so any and all help is appreciated

There are two ways…

---

The deb way

Download the archive with deb files and extract the archive, and yes, I'm sure

tar xf VNC-5.2.3-Linux-x64-DEB.tar.gz

Install via

sudo dpkg -i VNC-Server-5.2.3-Linux-x64.deb VNC-Viewer-5.2.3-Linux-x64.deb

And remove the packages. This will also remove the files from the installation via ./vncinstall

sudo apt-get purge realvnc-vnc-server
sudo apt-get purge realvnc-vnc-viewer

The script way

There is no script to remove the installed files. But you could use this, tested on my own system:

#!/bin/bash
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vncviewer.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vncaddrbook.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vncserver-x11.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/Xvnc.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vncserver-virtual.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vncserver-virtuald.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vncserver-x11-serviced.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vncpasswd.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vnclicense.1
sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vncinitconfig.1
sudo rm /etc/pam.d/vncserver

sudo rm -r /root/.vnc
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/vnc
sudo rm -r /usr/share/vnc
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/cups/vnc
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/cups/backend/vnc
sudo rm -r /usr/share/vnc
sudo rm -r /etc/vnc

for f in vncviewer vncaddrbook vncserver-x11 vncserver-x11-core Xvnc Xvnc-core \
         vncserverui vncserver-virtual vncserver-virtuald \
         vncserver-x11-serviced vncpasswd vnclicense vnclicensewiz \
         vnclicensehelper vncpipehelper vncinitconfig vncserver; do
    sudo rm "/usr/bin/$f"
done

Thanks, this worked perfectly! Just out of pure interest, how can I check, whether everything was uninstalled/removed completely? I checked whether the files, listed in your script, are still available or not. Is there another way?

you could use find / -iname "*vnc*" but there could be many false positive results.
