Uninstalling Singular on Ubuntu 16.04 (installed via TGZ)

Hi,

I've installed Singular via TGZ on my machine:
4.4.0-57-generic #78-Ubuntu SMP

I used the file Singular-4.1.0-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz
Does anyone know what should I do to safely uninstall it?

Thanks!

Simply remove the files delivered within the tar file.
For example

Code:

tar ztf Singular-4.1.0-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz|xargs rm -f

followed by removing the now empty directories:

Code:

rm -rf ./share/singular ./share/factory ./libexec/singular

./share/singular
