My question is, how is software not listed in Ubuntu Software Center uninstalled?

If it came from apt you can use 

sudo apt remove {package-name} or sudo apt purge

If it came from a deb file outside of the repo's. 

apt-get remove

works as well.

  • If you've installed software using installation scripts, that puts binaries, libraries, config files to different directories, than you should remove those files by your own looking into script and analyzing where and what it copied. Use rm command if no uninstall script present.

  • If you've installed it using make install, then try to use make uninstall command in the same directory

  • If you've installed software using other package systems, use them for uninstalling. For example: sudo snap remove gimp

  • Before uninstalling read documentation to software you're trying to uninstall. Maybe there're uninstall steps described
