I installed Google Chrome from the internet instead of Ubuntu Software Center. How do you uninstall applications installed in this manner?

If the software came in a .deb file (as I believe Chrome does), you should be able to remove it with "dpkg -r package-name"

Although the Ubuntu Software Center will install .deb packages downloaded, I've found the following to work to remove them:

sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable 

Don't forget that you can press the tab key to expand the package name after putting in the first few letters, for example:

sudo apt-get remove googl<TAB>
