In Ubuntu, is there something like the control panel of Windows from where I can uninstall a program?

open software center, there you find the installed software option, click any software you want to uninstall and remove it.

  • I cant understand the error message, ok let me clear if you install software from software center then it must be appear in software installed option bar, but if you install a .deb file it may not appear there. so my suggestion is install synaptic package manager from center and find it the required software you want to uninstall hope that may help. – Shohanur Rahaman Jan 06 '16 at 17:19

Open a console and type the following:

sudo apt-get remove $PackageName

Please note that doing so will NOT remove dependency to prevent breaking your system.

Best regards, Gael.
