not everything has to be done via the terminal. look in add/remove, or synaptic to see if it's located there. and uninstall it from that location.

if you installed it through synaptic, add/remove, or the apt-get from the terminal you can remove it with ``` sudo apt-get remove limewire

adult swim,

that will still leave the user files. to *completely* get rid of it i'd use

sudo apt-get remove --purge limewire

then

sudo apt-get clean

Of course, you don't need to use the terminal to uninstall. Add/Remove and Synaptic can both uninstall packages. Just uncheck and apply. Synaptic can also completely remove a package similar to the --purge, just right click and "completely remove"
