It depends on HOW you installed it. try sudo apt-get remove <pkgname>
where pkgname is the name of the program. followed by sudo apt-get clean.

If you are using a rpm based distro you will need to check the rpm
option for uninstall rpm -e is a good first try

for tar balls (./configure / make make install) it is harder but if you
look in Makefile for an uninstall target or manually reverse the actions
listed under install.
