I installed vnc2flv and later realized I would need other software to make it work and that there are better options. The problem is I can't find anything that even resembles an uninstall script and no where have I found any help other than "Delete the files" which is often problematic and I didn't specify any location to install.
The fact that it doesn't provide any way to uninstall it makes me want to be rid of it even more. I hate software that doesn't let you control it.
I just had a quick search for vnc2flv and it seems that the installation is a standard "python setup.py install". Was there an install.record file created that lists all the installed files?
Was there an install.record file created that lists all the installed files?
If there was, they went to a great extent to hide it. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated. It seems like they've almost been going to lengths to make this thing permanent.
out of curiosity I just installed it. The following is from my terminal: it shows where things were written. Perhaps it will help you find the corresponding files on your system.

Okay, I managed to used the display from my installer and some search to figure out where it was putting the files. It took me a while to realize there were only about 12 files, all of which were named, that it put in 2 spots.
