Remove files found with "locate"
 

I installed something that apparently doesn't have an uninstall script with it, so I'm going to have to remove all the files it installed. Using a bash command, how do I delete all the files found with locate? There are 2414 files, so I really don't want to type them all out.

try
locate KEY | rm
or
locate KEY | xargs rm
where KEY is the name you are looking for, but double check only the files you want are listed !

locate key | xargs rm worked. In my case, it was "locate mythtv | sudo xargs rm -rf" for anyone who might have the same issue. Thanks rednuht.

I'm assuming you compiled this program from source. In the future I suggest you use checkinstall. It's a useful program that catalogs the installation files and wraps them up in a package of your choice (.deb,rpm,.tgz), so that you can control it with your package manager. That way you won't have to hunt around for all the various files individually.
