Is there any way to see a list of downloaded programs like in the Windows 7 control panel?

The downloads section of My Files doesn't appear to hold anything even though I successfully downloaded youtube-dl (and would like to remove it) through the terminal.

Very new to Linux and compsci in general, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • You shouldn't be "downloading" programs. If you are new, you should be using the Ubuntu Software application. Your list of downloaded software is in it's "installed" tab. – user535733 May 22 '19 at 02:34

Use apt in the terminal to get a list of all installed (downloaded) files:

[sudo] apt list --installed

  • Thanks, that's where I found what I was looking for. Can you answer one more thing though? What's suppose to appear in the downloads folder? – Crane May 22 '19 at 03:01
  • ~/Downloads folder contain downloaded file via browser. – Liso May 22 '19 at 03:57
