Uninstalling .bin


How do I go about uninstalling a .bin file? Do I just delete the directory in installed it out of or what?

Thanks.

Some developers will add an uninstall option to the .bin installer, but not all of them. Check the documentation for that first, if there is none, just deleting what it installed will be fine.
