I usually don't ask for help unless I really can't find the answer myself. So, I'll explain where I got into. I installed the Google Earth using this:

wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin

I tried: 1) udo apt-get purge google-earth-stable

I can't find the exact package (dpkg --list 'google-earth*' | cat) because it writes that I don't have any Google Earth installed. sudo apt-get autoremove

All I get is:

zack@Zack-OS:~$ exec "$UNINSTALL" -L google-earth "/home/zack/google-earth/.manifest/google-earth.xml" "$1"
bash: exec: : not found
zack@Zack-OS:~$ sudo apt-get  --purge autoremove google earth
[sudo] password for zack: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package google
E: Unable to locate package earth

The problem is that I have the folder home/google-earh Please, help me, guys)

I have Linux Ubuntu 14.04LTS, 64-bit

Answer is found thanks to @Rinzwind

cd ~/google-earth chmod 750 uninstall ./uninstall

Plus to remove the download

cd ~/ rm GoogleEarthLinux.bin

  • Where exactly is Google Earth located on your system? – dobey Jan 10 '16 at 18:38
  • @dobey I try to find it but with zero result:
    zack@Zack-OS:~$ dpkg-query -l 'google' dpkg-query: no packages found matching google zack@Zack-OS:~$ dpkg-query -l 'earth'
    dpkg-query: no packages found matching earth     BUT! I can locate Google earth in /home/google-earth.     – user491656 Jan 10 '16 at 18:47
  • It should be quite clear for you that if you don't install things through dpkg/APT it won't keep track of it. – Eduardo Cola Jan 10 '16 at 19:03

  1. if you did not use "apt-get" to install forget about "apt-get" for removing software.

  2. "home/google-earh"

    Please be precise. that part you typed there contains typos. I would assume it is installed in /home/zack/google-earth. If so you should check inside the google-earth directory. There is an "uninstall" in there.

    That would be

    cd ~/google-earth
chmod 750 uninstall
./uninstall

    Plus to remove the download

    cd ~/
rm GoogleEarthLinux.bin

  • Thank you for your reponce! What I have is this: in files I have Home folder and I can locate Google-earth folder there. Yes. There is uninstall, but what should I do with it? Can you help me, please? – user491656 Jan 10 '16 at 18:54
  • ./uninstall of course (just make sure it is executable. – Rinzwind Jan 10 '16 at 18:56
  • And in addition, I have GoogleEarthLinux.bin in my home/zack/ folder – user491656 Jan 10 '16 at 18:58
  • Okay. Thank you! It seems there's no home/zack/google-earth anymore, though I still have GoogleEarthLinux.bin and desktop icon. Should I just delete it? – user491656 Jan 10 '16 at 19:01
  • yes sir. That should be enough. – Rinzwind Jan 10 '16 at 19:03
