Reinstallation of Realplayer from *.bin


I think I botched my installation of Realplayer 10 from the *.bin.

How can I reinstall this?

sudo apt-get install realplayer

you'll probably have to uninstall the old one first - but maybe an update will work things out.

So, how do I uninstall the old one?

In general, how do I uninstall *.bin's?

This depends on the package, some have uninstallers and others don't. In the case of Realplayer it should be safe to just delete the installation directory.
