Uninstalling app/program/service installed through *.sh script

command-line uninstall
9,542

I must be really mistaking if line 4,7, 8 and 360 not mean that there is simply an uninstall script in

/opt/Photon_3G/ZTE/MF190/uninstall.sh

Since in line line 360 it shows there should be an uninstaller script:

chmod 0755 $INSTALL_PATH/uninstall.sh

while in lineline 4/7:

NEW_FILE_PATH_TATA=Photon_3G/ZTE/MF190
SYS_PATH=/opt

and in line 8:

INSTALL_PATH=$SYS_PATH/$NEW_FILE_PATH_TATA

More generally:

Any proper application , installed by a */sh should have described in it's README file, somewhere in the zip file you will probably have downloaded, how to uninstall. Furthermore, when you install, in the terminal window you will many times see the command how to uninstall. If you forgot, the pragmatic procedure would be to install once more, so you can read how to uninstall.

I would avoid to manually remove the application, if possible, because it is hard to know what the installer script actually did.
