I know that in Windows there is an uninstall program, is there an equal
program or command that I can use in Linux?

Depends on how you installed the prog (rpm, tar, compile from source, other
packaging paradigms).

For rpm, try "rpm -evv packageName &> ~/packageName-erase.log". Have a
look at the "packageName-erase.log" file created in your home dir to see if
it worked. It won't, if it would break dependencies.

Your distro may include a package manager that simplifies this.
