You'll need to search out where & what it is actually called to get rid of it - take a look in /usr/bin (& /usr/local/bin).

It shows up as silenteye in usr/bin but when i type in the remove command in the terminal the output is. What do i do next.

Which distribution are you using and how did you install this in the first place?
I don't see it in the Debian repositories, for example:
https://packages.debian.org/search?k...mozilla-search
This suggests that you did not imply "apt install silenteye".

I installed it from the main website https://silenteye.v1kings.io/

If you did not install it using the package manager, the package manager won't know how to remove it.

If you compiled it from sources and still have the sources directory, you can remove it by cding to that directory and issuing the command

Code:

make uninstall

It looks like you installed from a '.run' package. Do you still have the package file? Try

Code:

$ ./package.run --help

and see if there is an option to 'remove'.

As above, or as it seems to have been put into your home directory, (./silenteye to run it from a command line), it may just be a directory that you can just delete.

Thanks for the help
