As it is now there is no way for any one to give you any help. What version of Ubuntu? What EXACT command did you use to install the file? What is the full file name?

Can you mention how you installed package ?

the `apt-get` commands will reverse installs that were installed by `apt-get` but cannot reverse installs that were done in other ways. Without specific details (what OS, release, what package exactly you installed) we cannot know how to reverse it - but it's the reverse of how you installed it (ie. if `apt-get install` it's `apt-get remove`; if it was `snap install` it's `snap remove` etc...

A `.bin` file, when run with `sudo`, can place files anywhere in the system. There is no obvious way of reverting that process. Perhaps if we knew what `.bin` file you ran, we could find out how to clean up your system. Or perhaps the author of the package also gave you uninstall instructions.

Do you install the software using a bash script?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
