How to completely remove Phoronix Test Suite?

Is the a way to completely remove Phoronix Test Suite with it's test results, installed suits, etc… from my system? I used the .sh installer file to install the Phoronix Test Suite on my system.

So if there is can you share the information with me

when i try to just uninstall it this is what I get

Package 'phoronix-test-suite' is not installed, so not removed

The installation script installs the same as the deb package. Therefore install and remove the deb package.

1. Download the deb package

   cd wget 

2. Install the test suite

   sudo dpkg -i phoronix-test-suite_5.8.0_all.deb 

3. Remove the test suite

   sudo apt-get purge phoronix-test-suite 

phoronix have an hidden configuration folder under home directory, try remove it :

 rm -rf ~/.phoronix-test-suite 

From examing the install script of v5.8.1 tarball from here, the script installs stuff to the following locations:

$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/phoronix-test-suite $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/doc/phoronix-test-suite/ $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/man/man1/phoronix-test-suite.1 $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/../etc/bash_completion.d/phoronix-test-suite $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/phoronix-test-suite.png $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/applications/phoronix-test-suite.desktop $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/applications/phoronix-test-suite-launcher.desktop $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/appdata/phoronix-test-suite.appdata.xml $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/../usr/lib/systemd/system/phoromatic-client.service $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/../usr/lib/systemd/system/phoromatic-systemd/phoromatic-server.service (probably:) $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/mime/packages/openbenchmarking-mime.xml $DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/mimetypes/application-x-openbenchmarking.png 

Where by default:

• $DESTDIR is not set, so ignored
• $INSTALL_PREFIX = /usr

So if you ran the install script without options or changing it, you should be able to remove it by running rm /usr/share/man/man1/phoronix-test-suite.1, rm -r /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite, etc.

By the way there is are packages available (e.g. ) - using packages if they are available is usually best/less annoying.
