Answer 1

Even though you say you didn't use apt-get or apt please try this method incase you did.

First, open a terminal by doing Ctrl + Alt + T

PPA purge, not only removes the PPA but also uninstalls all the programs installed by the PPA.

Install ppa-purge by using the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

Now use it in following manner to purge the PPA:

$ sudo ppa-purge PPA-URL-HERE

The URL of the PPA for qtsixa can be found in the Software Sources list.

The ppa url should be, 'ppa:falk-t-j/qtsixa' according to, 'https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sixaxis'

If that did not work, then you might have compiled it. You can remove the program binary by using which to find it.

Example(For the bash program. You shouldn't remove bash.)

$ which bash /usr/bin/bash

Now that you know where the bash binary is located you can remove it with rm. Example:

$ sudo rm /usr/bin/bash

You should be able to follow the same steps to find the qtsixa binary.
