Look at this thread: How to uninstall NetBeans?

If that doesn't work:

Try looking for a readme or a help in the netbeans folder, and look for more information on uninstalling.

You also can run the command gksudo nautilus, which opens your file manager which can delete all files, even those which normally are read only.

Then go to other locations in that file manager, select computer (your hdd) and press ctrl+f and search for netbeans, delete any file that comes up, that you think is related to the program (check the last modified date, if you remember when you installed netbeans, you can easily do this by enabling a last modified column in your file manager)

Running sudo nautilus is a bad idea. See http://askubuntu.com/q/11760/15003. – edwinksl Jun 15 '16 at 23:04
Thanks, i didn't know that, i'll just change it to gksudo then. – Frederik Baetens Jun 15 '16 at 23:09
