How can I uninstall matlab from Ubuntu 14.04? Its not a licensed one I guess.
When I run: sudo apt-get purge matlab-support, it shows: Matlab not installed
Also tried sudo apt-get purge matlab
Can anyone please help me?

1For an answer you will need to provide an answer to "How did you install it?". If not through apt then purge obviously does not work. Manual install? See if there is an uninstall script otherwise you use "rm" – Rinzwind May 12 '17 at 05:44

Firstly , I unzipped the file using unzip "FILE" – Harish Bodduna May 12 '17 at 06:50

Then , using sudo ./ install i installed it. – Harish Bodduna May 12 '17 at 06:50

@HarishBodduna since you did not install using apt, you cannot remove using apt. – user535733 May 12 '17 at 11:39

Try this :)
cd to etc directory
sudo ./lmdown or sudo bash lmdown
cd back to root
sudo rm /var/tmp/lm_TMW*
rm /usr/local/bin/matlab /usr/local/bin/mcc /usr/local/bin/mex /usr/local/bin/mbuild /usr/local/bin/matlab /usr/local/bin/mex
sudo apt-get purge matlab-support
or
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove matlab-support
restart
let me know if this works

If it didn't work maybe its not there to begin with , try the rest of the commands and skip the first one and let me know what happens – MeganFoxz May 12 '17 at 08:05
